Entry of M. de Macey

Jacques Callot, 1627

This is a drawing of a detailed procession. The black and white illustration features several small figures arranged in a parade-like formation. Each figure wears elaborate outfits with plumed hats and carries various musical instruments or weapons. Some figures are playing drums, others carrying sticks or long poles with ornate structures. The scene is meticulously composed, capturing the movement and coordination of the figures in the procession. The overall style suggests historical or ceremonial significance, with an emphasis on pageantry and display.
