Margaret of Austria Being Carried in a Chaise

Raffaello Schiaminossi

National Gallery of Art

It is a drawing of a historical scene with people gathered around a seated figure. In the scene, several figures are depicted engaging with a central figure who is seated under a large, decorated umbrella or canopy. The figures standing around are dressed in robes, cloaks, and period costumes. There are pole weapons in the background. The style of the drawing reflects detailed line work and shading typical of engravings or illustrations from historical texts.
