The expressions of the figures range from earnest and attentive to slightly amused, indicating a light-hearted yet formal occasion. Behind them, an array of quirky and jovial characters enhances the narrative, peeking from behind and apparently sharing in the moment's subtle glee.A faithful dog sits in the foreground, gazing up possibly in anticipation of a treat or command, adding a touch of everyday life and loyalty to the royal scene. The detailed background, complete with stained glass windows and a glimpse of a serene landscape, sets a scene of peace and prosperity.Leonard Leslie Brooke's illustration style, marked by clear lines and pastel hues, provides a window into a moment of courtly life that is both whimsical and grounded in the traditional tales of King Arthur and his court.
