Triumphal Procession of the Noble Glorious Women

Sebald Beham

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a triumphal procession. The image depicts a classical-style procession with figures, horses, and a chariot. The figures are adorned in draped garments typical of ancient Roman or Greek styles, and they are engaged in a parade scene. The chariot is elaborately designed with curved lines and decorated wheels, and there are decorative elements such as lit torches carried by the figures. The horses appear dynamic. Above the procession, there is an inscription. The drawing is executed with intricate linework.
