The symbolism can enlighten us on the royal belonging of the most important lady, in the center, crowned with gold and pearls, sitting almost with back, the face slightly turned to the right and watching the crown and the skeptre on the flower of Lys placed on a velvet cushion
To his right, a young lady wearing a crown of flowers tends a rose, symbol of purity and love
To her left, the lady with the star crown hands a golden sculpture of Minerva, symbol of wisdom

These three women seem very linked, they look in the same direction, they touch (hand in the back, hand in hand) and seem to share the moment solemnly

In the background, the curtain opens onto a green inner courtyard, with a large arch with columns and curry at the heads of lions

The colors are bright, the painting is of quality; The talented artist has even integrated the gold leaf
