Richard II's arrest by the Earl of Northumberland (Froissart).

This picture vividly anticipates the effect in Shakespeare's play (V.i.i: next image). In Shakespeare's version with Richard's queen added as a spectator, her comments and Richard's prophecy of Northumberland's future redress the emotional balance somewhat in Richard's favor.
