This etching by Pieter Nolpe, titled "De begrafenisstoet van Frederik Hendrik (plaat nr. 5)", depicts a procession of mourners attending the funeral of Frederik Hendrik, Prince of Orange. Created between 1647 and 1651, the artwork features a long, single-file line of individuals, each identified with their profession written above them. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's skill in depicting detail, highlighting the varying roles and social hierarchy within the procession. The piece serves as a valuable historical record of 17th-century Dutch society, capturing the solemn ceremony of a prominent figure's funeral.
