This engraving, part of a series created by J. Hermans in 1634, depicts a detail from the funeral procession of Ernst Casimir, Count of Nassau-Dietz, in Leeuwarden. The image shows a crowd of mourners in the street, with the emphasis on the elaborate baroque coat of arms on the right. The artwork's visual style is characteristic of 17th-century Dutch engravings, featuring meticulous detail and a focus on realism. The engraving provides a valuable historical record of a significant event in Dutch history and offers insight into the funerary practices and social hierarchy of the time.
