Two men are shaking hands, which appears to confirm the intended marriage between Ferdinand VI and Maria Barbara of Portugal. On the right, a servant enters with a tray of filled glasses. In the lower left, a three-line text in Dutch with an explanation of the scene, and on the right a similar explanation in Latin.
