"Doodskist in de begrafenisstoet van aartshertog Albrecht (plaat LV)" is an etching by Cornelis Galle I, dating back to 1623. This artwork depicts a funeral procession of Archduke Albrecht, featuring a coffin carried by pallbearers and a long line of mourners in formal attire. The meticulous detail and clarity of the print capture the grandeur and solemnity of the event, characteristic of Galle's engravings. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the customs and pageantry of a 17th-century funeral.
