In the middle a prince sits on an octagonal golden throne with red cushions and is handed a cup from a lady on the right, two ladies on the left are ready with other gifts and in the background behind the throne a maidservant is ready; in the foreground before the throne are more gifts and the prince’s slippers; graceful tree branches, plants and birds against a light-colored sky complete the picture. The scene is framed by wide colored borders in – from the inside out – orange, sea green, beige and a very wide dark green border, which are speckled with gold paint.
