The work is a rectangular painting from 1880 showing a crowded procession scene, partially obscured by a large green tree at its center. Participants carry an elaborate, decorated carriage adorned with flags and a drum at the rear. A single black ink character appears on a wall in the background. Originally part of an album of thirty-five procession-themed paintings, it was acquired in 1898 as part of a numbered series held under accession codes D.2-1898 to D.36-1898.
