This is a detail from plate 206, “Entrance of Henry of Lorraine, marquess of Moy, under the name of Pirandre” from the series The Combat at the Barrier, 1627.

Here we seem to have a number of soldiers holding their lances upright, perhaps with some difficulty for they are perched on the back of a giant lizard which is being pulled by a giant bird, itself ridden by a winged cupid.
