Procession of Three Draped Women Holding Crosses or Sceptres 1754 - 1802

"Procession of Three Draped Women Holding Crosses or Sceptres" is a pen and ink drawing created between 1754 and 1802 by George Romney, a prominent English portrait painter. This artwork, now held by The Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Romney's signature style, characterized by loose, expressive lines and a focus on capturing the movement and emotion of his subjects. The three figures, likely representing religious figures or allegorical figures, are draped in flowing garments and hold either crosses or sceptres, adding a layer of symbolism to the composition. The piece exemplifies Romney's skill in depicting human form and movement through subtle shading and dynamic poses.
