The picture shows a historical scene full of figures in period costumes. In the centre of the picture is a group of people discussing and appearing to be solemnly expressing or concluding something. The men are dressed in a variety of Renaissance or late medieval clothing and appear to be in an elevated position overlooking a vast landscape in the background. Some of the men are on horseback. The atmosphere is tense but also formal.

Diego Velázquez (1599-1660). Spanish Baroque painter, whose work significantly influenced the history of art. He painted mainly still lifes with figures, portraits and religious motifs. He used colour in an unusual breadth, carefully selected supporting characters in his paintings and no less carefully painted the details of interiors. An important element of his work is the atmosphere of his paintings. He painted realistically and without an idealist perversion of reality.
