Gekostumeerde optocht van 1841: koning en geestelijken (blad IV) 1841

This watercolor on paper, created in 1841 by an anonymous artist, depicts a processional scene. The artwork, titled "Gekostumeerde optocht van 1841: koning en geestelijken (blad IV)", portrays a king in a green robe and crown, followed by a large group of clergy in white robes. The procession is led by a horseman carrying a red flag with a white cross, likely symbolizing a religious or royal emblem. The detailed depiction of the figures and their attire offers a glimpse into the fashion and ceremonies of the 19th century. The artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to the rich history of costumes and processions in the Netherlands.
