In Gee's representation, the procession is shown as a grand civic event, with Lady Godiva modestly covered by her long hair, riding a white horse, and accompanied by a retinue of townsfolk and dignitaries. The painting is notable for its attention to historical detail, the vivid portrayal of the characters, and the bustling urban setting that provides a glimpse into the social life of 19th-century Coventry.
David Gee, an artist known for his historical and genre paintings, has imbued the work with a sense of drama and celebration, capturing the essence of the Godiva legend while also reflecting the values and interests of his own time.
