Procession floats and a large crowd of people fill the large street called the Meir in Antwerp.The float in the left foreground holds the giant Druon Antigoon (Antigonus), the mythical patron of Antwerp. Beyond is a float of Mount Parnassus. Right of Antigonus is an elephant with the goddess Fortuna on its back. Further right is a float of Amphitrite and Neptune drawn by mermaids and Tritons. Beyond, seated in a wagon labelled "Monarc", is presumably the emperor, with a colossal crown being carried before it. Further right are a ship representing commerce and a column with Christ on the Cross. In the right foreground is a colossal fish from whose mouth spouts water that drenches the spectators
