J.B. Isabey portrays a crowd gathered on a public square in Chambord and celebrating the arrival of the infant Duke of Bordeaux, with a procession of girls carrying flowers and presenting them to the boy, who is held by a woman while his mother, the Duchess of Berry, is getting off a carriage which is standing under a canopy decorated with flowers. In the right foreground, street-traders sell food and drinks; in the background, one can see the château of Chambord.
