Credit LineBequest of Henry C. LewisPhysical DescriptionA man and woman wearing white emerge from an arched stone doorway. The man steps forward, holding a candle in his elevated right hand and a yellow textile in this left hand. The textile drags behind him, hiding most of the lower body of the female figure. In front of this couple on a platform are two more figures, one wearing a blue jacket with coattails and holding a sword, point down, in this right hand while his left hand is raised in a pointing gesture above his head. In the wake of the figure in blue is a smaller figure wearing a brown tunic and holding a lantern. Larson 2/5/18
