This etching by Stefano della Bella, titled "A procession of horsemen and cannons in the middle ground walking to the left, a cannon and two men to left, from 'Peace and War' (Divers desseins tant pour la paix que pour la guerre)", depicts a military procession with a focus on detail in the weaponry and men's attire. The work demonstrates della Bella’s skill in capturing the movement of people and animals, especially through the use of diagonal lines and flowing figures.
