The Entry into Jerusalem

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a procession scene with architectural elements. A central figure is riding an animal, surrounded by a crowd. The background includes towers and domes of a city. The crowd includes figures holding palm branches. Palm trees are in the foreground, framing the procession. The linework is detailed and suggestive of a historical or religious theme.
