Queen of Edward IV parting with the Duke of York by Order of Richard III n.d.

Giovanni Battista Cipriani's "Queen of Edward IV Parting with the Duke of York by Order of Richard III" is a pencil drawing depicting a poignant historical scene. The artwork, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases a somber moment of separation. A central figure, likely Queen Elizabeth Woodville, is seen kneeling as a figure presumed to be Richard III, orders the separation of the Duke of York, possibly from his mother. The scene is rendered in a delicate, nearly unfinished style, which amplifies the pathos of the event.
