Description: "Charlemagne installs Roland as his representative in Spain and presents him with a gonfanon as a sign of sovereignty. He then takes his leave with a wave of the hand while Roland vainly tries to ram the staff of the banner into the rocky ground."

Comments: Again, this illustration is frustratingly undated. Is that comment at the end about Roland and the rocky ground significant? Must look that up.
