This anonymous engraving from 1647, titled "Indtog i en russisk by" (Entry into a Russian Town), depicts a scene of a procession entering a Russian town, likely during a period of military conflict. The detailed representation of wooden houses and figures in traditional dress provides insight into the architecture and daily life of 17th-century Russia. This small-scale work, measuring just 99 mm by 135 mm, is a captivating historical document and a fine example of early European printmaking.
