Curator's comments: Apparently the original drawing for the plate numbered 2 of the Funeral Procession of Charles V, 1559, engraved in 32 sheets by Johannes and Lucas à Duetecum, from the design of Hieronymus Cock (HIERONYMOUS COCK. INVE 1559 on plate 32). It corresponds closely to, and is in the same direction as the engraving.
