Triumphal Procession

Sebald Beham after Barthel Beham

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a classical procession. The image depicts mythological figures and creatures engaged in a procession-like movement. In the center, there is a horse-drawn chariot. The horses are rendered with attention to detail, capturing their strides. Surrounding the chariot, there are figures in distinct poses, some appearing to carry objects while others gesture towards each other. The background is simply textured. The scene is arranged within a narrow rectangular frame, emphasizing linearity typical of processional imagery.
