The Entry into Jerusalem

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a procession in a historical or religious setting. The scene includes a crowd of figures along a path with palm trees. At the center, a figure is seated on a donkey or small horse, surrounded by others walking alongside and in front. The background features towers and arches, suggesting an ancient city. Some figures are kneeling or holding branches. The drawing emphasizes detailed line work and shading to convey depth and movement.
