Entry of Monseigneur Henry de Lorraine, Marquis de Moy, under the Name of Pirandre

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornate chariot being pulled by two dogs. The chariot is intricately designed with swirling patterns and features feminine busts on its side. The two animals at the front are depicted with detailed musculature and are harnessed to the chariot. The chariot is elevated on large, decorative wheels, and the drawing is executed with fine lines and meticulous attention to detail.
