The Count of Habsburg

Philipp von Foltz

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a medieval procession through a wooded landscape. The central figure is an elder riding a horse, dressed in a cloak and holding a staff. The horse is decorated, and other figures on foot accompany them, some with livestock. The figures are in medieval attire. In the background are mountains and a castle. The drawing uses black and white tones to create depth and texture.
