Le roi, le milan, et le chasseur (The King, the Kite, and the Hunter)

Jean-Baptiste Oudry, publié en 1759

This is an illustration of a royal court scene. The scene shows a grand hall with a high ceiling and columns, featuring a lavish throne adorned with red fabric. A king wearing a crown is seated on the throne, being approached by another figure. A large bird is perched on another person's arm, while other figures, potentially soldiers or courtiers, are present around the scene, wearing helmets and carrying spears. The composition and style highlight the grandeur and drama of the court.
