Print of a c.17th century original. During the 17th century, it was the artist's duty to record formal occasions for inclusion in the official histories of the reigns of the emperors. Such scenes were worked up after the event from pre-existing portraits of notable attendees, resulting in a 'stiffness' of effect.
