[Ximena demands vengeance for her father]

Description
-
Four people in the foreground look on at Ximena, who is pleading King Ferdinand for vengeance against Rodrigo, as he has just killed her father the Count of Gormaz. She wears black robes and a veil, due to her mourning. Rodrigo is in attendance, and may be the person in the centre of the foreground, but he does not interfere with the scene; he silently leaves upon being addressed by Ximena. The scene takes place in front of a massive and highly-decorated arch, presumably a part of the castle of Burgos.
