The Triumph of Julius Caesar: Elephants Carrying Torches by Andrea Andreani. The image depicts a procession led by several elephants. Two elephants in the foreground carry decorated platforms on their backs. One platform holds tall torch holders with flames and people. The other platform, on the right, is covered with a patterned cloth and has a man standing on it, holding a torch. Several people pull the elephants on ropes. A man on a horse leads the procession. The background shows a cloudy sky, a tower, and a hill. A rocky outcropping is on the right. The scene is in shades of gray.
