This detail represents members of the Medici family and other Florentines saluting the passing of the procession of the Oldest King. In this grouping with portraits, in the vanguard of the oldest king, two more self-portraits of the painter can be identified: the man on the right in the foreground gesturing with his hand and the man in the upper left with the straw hat.
