Raffaello Schiaminossi

National Gallery of Art

This etching depicts a central person riding a horse, surrounded by other people. The central person is wrapped in a cloak with a large ruff and wears a hat adorned with a feather. A person walking next to them holds a large parasol. Behind this person are two others on horseback also wearing cloaks. One of them has a sword strapped to their waist. Behind the riding group are rows of men in hats walking on foot, carrying upright spears or pikes. The ground they travel on has small rocks, and the sky is gray.
