The individuals face away or sideways from the viewer. The hall has a central aisle with seated individuals on two sides facing each other. A chair resembling a throne, under a canopy, is located further into the room, where a person is seated. The floor is checkered, and large windows line the walls. The background is richly decorated, implying formality or ceremony.
