The scene is set in a grand hall and features the Duke at the table surrounded by his courtiers, with a tapestry-lined background that adds depth and warmth to the composition.

The calendar pages of "Les Très Riches Heures," including "January," are not only artistic masterpieces but also serve as historical documents that provide insight into the seasonal activities and celebrations of the medieval period. The attention to detail in the costumes, the architectural elements, and the use of gold leaf highlights the skill of the Limbourg brothers and their contribution to the art of illumination.
