Enthroned at the center of the middle fresco are Maria Theresa as ruler of the Habsburg Monarchy and her husband Franz Stephan as emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. They are surrounded by the personified virtues of a ruler, including justice, clemency and munificence. A modern element is introduced by the genre-like representations of the Habsburg Crown Lands and their products which allude to the program of reforms initiated by Maria Theresa in the field of administration and the economy.
