"Paus wordt gedragen in een draagstoel" (c. 1661) is a woodcut by the 17th-century Monogrammist GK. The artwork depicts a scene of a pope being carried in a sedan chair, surrounded by attendants. The fine detail of the figures and the ornate design of the chair convey the grandeur and ceremony associated with the papacy. The woodcut is likely an illustration from a book or publication, and the title suggests that it may have been part of a series related to anti-Catholic propaganda. The inscription below the image, "Antichriftus," reinforces this possibility.
