"Bussy d'Amboise" after the tragedy by Chapman.
The scenery and the characters and the theatre are made and colored by hand.
There are some forest scenes but the main part of the play happens in the Louvre or in the lodging of the Countess of Montsoreau. Basically the Countess is unfaithful and the Count obliges her to give an assignation to her lover when he will be waiting for him.
The story is set in the time of Henry the third of France and has been recast by Dumas in "La dame de Montsoreau".
