content: Interior view of the church of St. Denis during the funeral ceremony for Marie Thérèse of Spain. Highly decorated interior with vaulted ceilings, stained-glass windows, candelabra, and drapery. On a mezzanine level, large arched niches similar to opera boxes full of seated figures. At the center of each arch, a large ornamented escutcheon surmounted by a crown. At the ground level, crowds of figures sit and stand for the service. An ornate baldachin at right, the columns of which are decorated with many candelabra. At the center of the baldachin is a hanging shroud, below which is a skull and a cross. Above the baldachin, a large hanging canopy, the fabric of which is decorated with a pattern of fleurs de lys.
