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 in a carriage whose seat is a scallop-shell is a barefoot woman with a spear, holding aloft an orb. Her carriage is pulled by Death, represented as a naked man, winged, carrying an hour-glass and a scythe. |
