The image showcases the refined interior of the court, adorned with elegant tapestries and ornate furnishings. Both figures are dressed in elaborate Elizabethan attire; the queen's regal presence is enhanced by her exquisite ruff collar and majestic crown. Ascham, portrayed with a distinguished beard, assumes his role as teacher and scholar within this historical setting. The composition highlights their interaction, emphasizing the importance of education during this era. Ascham's posture suggests reverence towards his royal student while imparting knowledge from the written word.
