"H. Sacrament, plaat 17," is an etching by Nicolaas Hogenberg, possibly dating from between 1530 and 1699. The artwork depicts a procession, likely a religious one, with figures carrying torches and following a figure on horseback. The procession is led by a figure holding a ceremonial object, perhaps a reliquary or a monstrance. The scene is set against a backdrop of a cloudy sky. Hogenberg's detailed depiction of the figures and their attire reveals his skill as a printmaker and provides insight into the customs of the time.
