Description

"Sir Kenneth before the King", by the Dalziel Brothers, after Sir Walter Scott's The Talisman

From left to right: King Richard the Lionheart, Henry Neville, Thomas de Vaux, and Sir Kenneth. (Neville and de Vaux are arguably the other way around, but as de Vaux steps forwards between Richard and Kenneth a moment after the quote, this order seems more likely)

Other versions
This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Some staining in upper left and (to a much lesser extent) elsewhere removed or reduced by selective levels adjustments. Cropped, rotated, levels adjusted. The quote was slighty skewed compared to the title and the rest of the image - enough to damage the composition when used in an electronic medium with hard borders - so I selectively gave a very small rotation to that and used the clone brush to fill in the gaps produced..
