This 17th century engraving by Cornelis Galle I depicts the funeral procession of Archduke Albrecht, who died in 1622. The print showcases elaborate ceremonial details, including two elaborately adorned horses, the "Cheval de Bataille" and the "Cheval d'Honneur", and a standard with the coat of arms of the Archduke. The print likely served as a visual record of the event and is a fascinating testament to the grandeur and symbolism surrounding royal funerals in the early 17th century.
