"Plate 24: Gentlemen of the House Marching in the Funeral Procession of Archduke Albert of Austria" is an etching and engraving by Cornelis Galle I, created in 1623 for the "Pompa Funebris ... Alberti Pii" series. The print depicts a procession of nine gentlemen, identified by name, in black cloaks and white ruffs. The image is a striking visual record of 17th-century mourning attire and social hierarchy. The print, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Galle’s skill and the artistic grandeur surrounding royal funerals in the early modern period.
