A wide hall or church space is filled with throngs of people focused on a young man kneeling in front of a clutch of clergymen in this horizontal painting. The people all have smooth, pale skin. Their clothing is intricately patterned with areas of vivid color, creating a collage-like effect. The ten clergymen stand on a low platform to our left. Most wear yellow and gold-colored vestments and conical, split mitre hats though one wears a scarlet-red robe and brimmed hat. The kneeling young man they face, the Dauphin, is draped in an azure-blue cloak adorned with gold fleur-de-lis and a shawl-length cape of black-speckled white ermine fur. He leans forward over one stockinged foot with his hands pressed together as the front bishop bends to gesture over him. Four men stand closer to us to our right of the Dauphin, their backs to us. A young person with chin-length blond hair kneels behind this group. A sword hangs at one hip and the head tips down, eyes closed. The arm we see is covered in shiny silver armor, and it holds up a blue standard. The fabric of the standard and of the person’s robe is white with gold fleur-de-lis. Another group of men stand to our right, also facing inward toward the Dauphin. Six of them lift their faces, their mouths open as if in song, as they pull swords out of sheaths or hold them overhead. White banners, also with gold fleur-de-lis and a gold cross against a sky-blue clover shape, hang from almost a dozen long, pale-gold horns being played, lifted high in the air, at the back of the group. The two groups of men wear tunics, robes, and stockings in cherry red, rose pink, fawn brown, burnt orange, harvest yellow, violet, or plum purple. Countless swords are also held aloft across the background against peach, celestial blue, pale yellow, and white standards. Ladies in mauve, seafoam green, petal pink, and taupe fill pink balconies in the upper left corner overlooking the scene. White veils flow from their tall, pointed hats. A heather-purple, narrow carpet scattered with flowers creates a runner leading up to the Dauphin and platform over a richly patterned floor beneath. The artist signed and dated the lower right, “M.Boutet de Monvel 1907.”
