The image shows an intricately detailed courtyard featuring Moorish Islamic architecture in Granada, Spain. Regarding the surrender: "The Moorish King arrived where King Ferdinand was, and approaching him, he removed his turban and dismounted his horse as was agreed. He told King Ferdinand not to dismount. He approached him and kissed his arm, giving him two keys to the main gates of the Alhambra, and said to him in his own language: 'God loves you very much; these, my lord, are the keys to this Paradise.' Moving aside a little, he asked to whom the King and Queen had given the charge of the Alcazaba of the Alhambra, and telling him that it was the Count of Tendilla, he asked him to be summoned. Taking a gold ring from his finger with a turquoise stone on which were written these letters: Lei Lehe Ille Ali Lchu, Alan Tabilu Aben Abi Abdilchi; which translated into our Castilian read: 'There is no other God but the true God: and this is the seal of Aben Abi Abdilchi.' He gave it to him, and said: 'With this ring Granada has been governed since it was ruled by the Moors, take it so that you may govern it with it: and may God make you happier than me.'"
