Philippine Welser before Emperor Ferdinand I.

In a Renaissance parlour, Ferdinand I is standing half-right in front of a table. He is wearing a black robe and the Order of the Golden Fleece across his chest. In front of him is a brown and white pied dog. To his left kneels a woman in a white silk robe holding a child in her hands. Behind her are two boys.
