This 18th-century engraving by Dominique Sornique depicts the arrival of Queen Isabella of Bavaria in Paris in 1729. It shows a procession of figures, including the Queen in a carriage, surrounded by an entourage of attendants, dignitaries, and horses. The scene is set against a backdrop of a city wall and cityscape, suggesting a formal entrance into the city. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into royal processions and the grandeur of 18th-century European court life.
