Intriguingly detailed, the image features prominent figures such as Catherine II of Russia, Leopold II of Austria, Frederick William II of Prussia, Louis XV of France, Charles III of Spain, George III of Great Britain, and Selim III of Turkey. Each ruler is depicted with their distinctive royal attire and regal crowns. The composition offers an insightful glimpse into European politics and power dynamics during this era.
