Queen Isabella II walks through a garden with her daughter Isabel, the Princess of Asturias, followed by their entourage, consisting of the Marquise of Novaliches, the little princess' governess, a military chief and, lastly, by the servants. The scene is framed with a large boarder decorated with shields with the fleur-de-lys (symbol of the Bourbon dynasty), lions and castles, referring to the kingdoms of Castilla and Leon. The subject of this print is exceptional in the painting of the Spanish Court. Romanticism attempted to humanise the monarchy, in search of emotional values showing everyday aspects of the royal personages.
