The king is shown surrounded by his generals: Créqui and Condé on the right and Bellefonds, with his back to the viewer, on the left. Other versions of the composition, all considered autograph, are in the Louvre (no. 1483, 50 cm. x 80 cm.), the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Marseille (17 cm. x 21 cm.) and the Musée de Narbonne.
