Anoniem / Anonymous

View of a plain near Suratte, through which a procession of people dressed in long robes winds its way. In the background to the left, part of Suratte; centre and right are mountain ranges. In the foreground the people walk in pairs from left to right. Each wears a cape and a hat with a broad ribbon that reaches to the waist. The next row, which proceeds from right to left, also includes four covered oxen pulling a cart draped in a large cloth that is held at the corners by robed bearers. The centre row comprises people with flags, stakes and weapons. On the sidelines several men in eastern dress.

Top right in the margin: derde deel fol 89.
