National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a procession featuring figures on horseback. The scene captures a large group of people, primarily mounted on horses, depicted in detailed outline against a landscape setting. The figures, both on horseback and on foot, appear to be part of a ceremonial or formal gathering. The background includes some trees and distant structures suggestive of a village or settlement. Annotations in the lower part of the artwork add contextual elements. The drawing is rich in detail, emphasizing the movement and grouping of figures, which creates a dynamic and lively scene.
