Title: Unknown
Artist: Pieter van der Borcht (1545-1601)
Date: 1594
My first impression:
In this picture there is an old looking elephant with a man on top of him.
The man seems to be on a collum making a grand entrance to either war or a welcoming back ceremony.
There is a fire torch and the elephant is lifted up on a stand which makes the elephant even taller.
What I have learned:
This picture is in fact an entrance for the great duke, who was from Austria, he was going into Belgium.
This image is engraved and Borcht is known all over for this.
