It is characterized as a religious painting and is housed in the Groeningemuseum in Bruges, Belgium.
In the artwork, a serene interior scene is depicted, featuring two prominent figures. Isabella of Portugal, kneeling in prayer, wears a richly decorated garment that highlights her noble status. She is accompanied by St. Elizabeth, who stands beside her, gently holding a crown in her hands.
