Entrée à Ferrare

Jacques Callot, 1612

This is a drawing of a procession of figures on horseback. The scene portrays several horses and riders in a formal and ordered procession. The riders are wearing wide-brimmed hats and cloaks. The horses are well-detailed, with their bridles and reins distinctly drawn. Surrounding the riders are other figures, some marching on foot. In the background, a structure with arched openings sets the location as a structured environment. The style of the drawing exhibits fine line work, attention to intricate details, and a sense of age.
