Entry of Marie de Medici into Amsterdam [plate 6 of 6]

Pieter Nolpe after Jan Martsen

National Gallery of Art

This is an etching drawing of a scene with a horse-drawn carriage, mounted riders, and a group of people and a dog. The image portrays a group traveling scene, with a carriage on the left that holds a woman under a canopy. Several individuals are mounted on horses, while others stand or walk beside them. To the right, more people gather, seemingly positioned in a group discussion or meeting. In the foreground, a dog appears to be leading or inspecting the way. The use of line work and cross-hatching suggests detailed texture in the clothing and the animals, providing a sense of depth and movement to the scene.
