The Triumph of Saint Stephen

Dirck Volckertz Coornhert after Maerten van Heemskerck

National Gallery of Art

This drawing depicts an elephant and four figures in a landscape. A figure in elaborate clothing is sitting atop the elephant holding a staff. Two muscular figures are on the right, one with a raised fist and the other holding an object. Ethereal figures are above in the clouds, and there is a distant architectural setting. Latin inscriptions are at the bottom of the image.
