This print by Cornelis Galle I depicts a procession of men with heraldic flags and horses from Carinthia and Styria, part of a larger work commemorating the funeral of Archduke Albert of Austria in 1623. The print, engraved on copper and hand-colored, highlights the vibrant colors and rich detail of the event. It is a significant piece of art and history documenting the solemn and elaborate ceremonial rites of the Habsburg dynasty in the early 17th century.
