"Deel van de optocht, nr. 6" is a 16th-century etching by Joannes van (I) Doetechum, depicting a scene from a procession. The print is a detailed portrayal of a parade featuring a horse and rider, with a flag bearer holding a banner depicting a nobleman on horseback. The artwork is part of a larger series illustrating a grand procession, possibly in honor of a royal figure or religious event. The intricate details of the costumes, flags, and horse trappings demonstrate Doetechum's skill as a draftsman and engraver. This print is a valuable source of information on 16th-century Dutch society and its ceremonial traditions.
