This engraving by Cornelis Galle I depicts the funeral procession of Archduke Albrecht. The artwork, part of a larger series, was created in 1623 and shows the elaborate costumes and ceremonial trappings of the mourners. The procession is led by a horse adorned with a magnificent headdress, followed by figures carrying banners and flags with the coats of arms of various regions, including Zutphen and Namur. This piece, now held at the Rijksmuseum, provides a visual glimpse into the ceremonial grandeur and pomp of a 17th-century funeral.
