The Coronation of Solomon by the Spring of Gihon

Französische Grafik 1285–1700, c. 1500

The image shows a scene with a seated figure being crowned by surrounding figures in a tent-like structure. There is a small body of water with rocky banks in the foreground, and a row of trees leading into the background towards a pastoral landscape with rolling hills and distant trees. The brushstrokes are detailed, emphasizing contours and textures, with a soft and muted color palette of earthy tones dominating the composition.
