This image represents the wedding of El Cid and Jimena. The two are in the center of the image facing each other with candles. Jimena’s face is not visible but she has long blond hair and is wearing a white dress. El Cid standing right in front of her is wearing a brown tunic with a blue cloak. He has a moustache and brown hair. At his wais the hilt of a sword is visible. In front of them is the bishop with his hand raised in the air. He is wearing a purple robe with a streak of gold on it. He has grey hair and beard. On top of his head he is wearing a hat and he is holding a golden staff. The two priests on his right are dressed in green robes. Then one of the far right is holding a golden staff with a symbol of the cross on top. The king and queen are right behind the couple. The king has a white beard and is wearing his golden crown. He has green robes on and is wearing a red cloak. He like El Cid is carrying a sword at his waist. The queen standing next to the king is wearing a diadem over her blond hair. She is wearing a dress with a red cloak covering it. There is a woman standing right behind Jimena and she is all covered in her blue cloak and with her eyes closed. The two men behind the king are both older men, one with a blue robe and white beard and the other with a brown robe with a moustache. The rest of the people in the image appear to be guests. They seem to all be in a church made of stone. At the right of the picture a red tapestry is on the wall.
