About this work
King Charles VI and five other men are dressed as wild men and dancing at a wedding feast. A man with a burning torch sets one of them on fire. The Duchess of Berry throws her cloak over the king and thus saves his life. In the margin a four-line caption in French. Signed in the upper right: Tom. I, pag. 95.
