- Abstract
-
King Henry VIII leads Anne Boleyn towards the throne. A melancholy Cardinal Wolsey leans his head in his hand as he glances sideways toward the couple. In the background Katherine of Aragon sitting in another throne, turns away from the couple to converse with Anne's former lover, Lord Percy. A young page carries the train of Anne's dress as she enters the palace
