About this work

You’re looking at a crowded street scene where a man in fancy clothes walks under a banner. The crowd wears old-time hats and coats. A horse and cart sit in the background. This is one slice of a six-part etching. Each piece shows a different part of the parade. Artists back then used this method to print big pictures in smaller pieces. The man in the center wears the name "Pirandre" on his outfit. He’s really Monseigneur Henry de Lorraine.
