II, depicting the complex relationship between Richard II (King of England 1483-1485) and Anne, daughter of the Earl of Warwick and widow of Edward, Prince of Wales. In this momentous encounter, Duke of Gloucester (Richard at that time) woos Anne as she accompanies the corpse of her father-in-law, Henry VI. The image showcases the dramatic tension between these two characters against a backdrop filled with political intrigue and personal desires. Initially rejecting his advances due to their conflicting loyalties and grief over her late husband's death in the Wars of Roses, Anne eventually succumbs to Richard's charm and they are later married.
