Duguesclin's Sister 1829

"Dugesclin's Sister" is a lithograph created in 1829 by Eugène Delacroix, a prominent French Romantic artist. This dramatic scene depicts a woman, likely Duguesclin's sister, fleeing from a group of armed men in a dimly lit castle setting. Delacroix masterfully captures the tension and fear of the moment through the use of bold lines, contrasting light and shadow, and dynamic poses. The artwork highlights Delacroix's interest in historical subjects, particularly those related to chivalry and warfare. This lithograph is part of a series of illustrations created for "Chronicles of France," a collection of historical narratives.
