Entry into Ferrara

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of horsemen and footmen in a procession. The image shows several figures on horses moving through an arched pathway with tall walls on both sides. The figures on horseback wear long garments and wide-brimmed hats, while other attendants walk alongside holding staffs or pikes. The composition is dense with figures and horses, creating a sense of movement. The drawing is detailed with fine linework and cross-hatching, emphasizing depth and texture.
