The Prince Enters the Wood

Español: El príncipe entra en el bosque

Un caballero armado de pie, con una espada, se sitúa junto a varios caballeros dormidos tendidos entre rosas silvestres rosadas y un follaje verde y denso en un claro del bosque. Yelmos y escudos yacen dispersos sobre la hierba, y la superficie pintada muestra detalles finos en las hojas y las flores.
