The scene describes a lively and fantastical procession involving unicorns, costumed grooms, and intricately painted decorations, creating a whimsical and festive atmosphere. A pseudo-king, dressed in ermine and wearing a sceptre, is portrayed as quite handsome and bears a resemblance to a real monarch. The atmosphere suggests a ceremony or celebration with a sense of grandeur and playful elegance.

The scene also hints at family connections, as a small boy acting as the Dauphin appears to be the king’s son, and other children seated on cushions are likely related as well. The Queen Dowager, noticing a teasing marmoset causing trouble, considers instructing Margaret Erskine to have it destroyed, indicating her concern for proper decorum amid the festivities.
