Deel van de begrafenisstoet van Ernst Casimir, graaf van Nassau-Dietz te Leeuwarden (plaat 7), 1633 1634

This 1634 etching by J. Hermans depicts a portion of the funeral procession of Ernst Casimir, Count of Nassau-Dietz, which took place in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, focuses on the horse-drawn hearse, attended by a group of mourners. The inscription “Rouw-Peerdt” (Mourning-Horse) identifies the horse-drawn carriage, while other handwritten inscriptions identify prominent figures in the procession, such as the counts of Nassau and Spiegelberg. The meticulous detail of the etching reflects the importance of this grand event and the historical significance of the figures present.
