The Triumph of the Virgin

Jacques Callot, 1625

This is a drawing of a procession with symbolic figures and iconography. The scene is celestial, showing a central figure in a chariot with other figures around. Angels and cherubs are in the sky, surrounded by clouds and banners. Below, figures in robes form a circular formation. A dragon-like creature and classical architectural elements are visible in the background. The drawing is detailed, highlighting movement, symbolism, and exultation.
