An Enemy on the March

Stefano Della Bella

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white drawing of a scene with people on horseback and a large group of people in the background. Three men on horseback are prominently featured on the left side, with two wearing feathered hats and one wearing a hat with a brim. The horses are standing still, with one horse's head and neck visible in front. A man on horseback faces right in the center. He wears a wide-brimmed hat with a feather and a long coat. A fourth horseback rider appears in the lower right corner. The background shows a large crowd of people, some on horseback and some on foot. Buildings and trees are also visible. The drawing is signed "Stef. della Bella Florentinus fecit" and "Cortes peud. Cum Priv. Regis" at the bottom. The overall scene appears to be a military or ceremonial event.
