Maarten van Heemskerck's "Triumphal Chariot. Inopia (Want)" is a detailed pen drawing created in 1563. This intricate artwork depicts a chariot procession with numerous figures, including a seated goddess and several standing figures, with two horses pulling the vehicle. Heemskerck's meticulous detail and anatomical accuracy are evident in the depiction of the figures and horses. The scene is set against a distant, bustling cityscape, which highlights the contrast between opulence and poverty, likely an allegory for the theme of Inopia (Want). This drawing demonstrates Heemskerck's skill in capturing the drama and grandeur of historical and mythological subjects.
