Margaret of Austria Being Carried in a Chaise is a 1612 ink by Raffaello Schiaminossi, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a group of people carrying a woman in a chair. She sits under a canopy, dressed in fancy clothes, while others around her hold umbrellas and staffs. The scene feels busy and formal, with lots of movement in the figures’ robes and gestures. The woman’s chair has a small box with letters on it, which might hint at her importance. The artist used sharp lines to show fabric and shadows, making everything look dramatic. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
