About the Item

Mixed media (pencil, pen, brown ink and white chalk) on paper. Italian school of beginning '800. The scene depicts a meeting between a high priest and a leader: if the latter is followed by his entire army, with soldiers of different ranks truci and armed, the priest is followed by all the people praising the victor, while two young women on their knees offer wreaths of flowers. Behind the scene are the mighty walls with the gateway to a city, toward which he points the priest, as if to hand it over to the leader. The clothing of the priest, particularly the presence of the so-called "Decision" breastplate that he wears, hints at an Israelite priest, and thus the city could be Jerusalem; on the other hand, the 'attire of the victorious leader, with the helmet surmounted by two horses, hints at Alexander the Great, who in 332 BCE. actually conquered the city. The drawing is presented in a late 19th-century carved wooden frame.
