This anonymous pencil drawing, part of a series depicting the funeral procession of Anna Paulowna, Queen of the Netherlands, in 1865, captures the solemnity of the event.

The meticulous detail and realistic portrayal highlight the grandeur and formality of the royal funeral. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the visual culture and mourning practices of 19th-century Europe.
