| Description |
The painting depicts the wedding ball of the Duke of Joyeuse and Marguerite of Lorraine, in Paris on 24 September 1581. Joyeuse was the favourite of King Henry III of France, and Marguerite was the sister of Henry's wife, Queen Louise of Lorraine. According to the description of this picture in the 1988 catalogue of the Armada Exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London, the newlyweds are depicted in the centre; to the left sits Henry III beside Catherine de' Medici and his wife, Queen Louise; behind them stand the dukes of Guise, Mayenne, and d' Epernon (Armada, London: Penguin, 1988, ISBN 0140103015). |

| Notes | André Chastel (French Art, 1995, p. 248) suggests that the painter was probably Flemish. The painting was attributed to Herman van der Mast (1581–1604) when exhibited at the Armada exhibition in 1988. It was attributed to Hieronymus Francken (I), by L. Demonts. Cf. Catalogue des peintures de l'ecole francaise au Musee du Louvre by G. Briiere (Paris, 1924), no. 1034, p. 286 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
