with her husband, the Emperor Maximilian I (on the left side), and his family, his son Philip (in the background), his grandsons Ferdinand I and Karl V (in the front on the left side and in the middle) and the future husband of his granddaughter Maria, the King Louis II of Hungary-Bohemia (in the front on the right side) – the latter's portrait has to be a later addition, he was at the time when this painting was created – around 1506 – just born! It was possibly his wife Maria, the then one-year old princess, who occupied this place.
