The image shows the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella and Ferdinand, kneeling in front of the city of Granada. To the left of the image and in front of the Catholic Monarchs, the Christian troops can be seen. In front of them, on the right, the city walls can be seen, with the Alhambra in the background, as well as the Muslim troops. It is very likely that the image represents the Muslim surrender and the handing over of the keys of the city by Boabdil to the Catholic Monarchs
