People going to the mosque on Ternate

Anoniem / Anonymous

View of a broad city street with what looks to be a procession; a group of people walks from right to left, led by a man with sword and a goat. Behind him soldiers, followed by in the centre a man beneath a parasol and a figure carrying the Dutch [?] flag. A person carrying a dish brings up the rear.

According to the index in 'Begin ende Voortgang', the illustration is entitled Des Koninckx van Ternaten kerckengangh.
