This scene is one the two scenes on the entrance wall flanking the door to the ballroom. In this scene the betrothed couple sit facing each other across a table that is arranged diagonally in front of a grand loggia. The demeanour of the heterogeneous figures around the table is characterized by the festive vivacity expected of such an event.
