The Coronation of Esther 1510 - 1585

"The Coronation of Esther" is a drawing by Carlo Urbino from the 16th century housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The artwork depicts a scene of a coronation ceremony. The composition includes a central figure, likely Esther, seated upon a throne, surrounded by figures in what seems to be a grand hall. This drawing, possibly a preliminary study for a larger work, showcases Urbino’s skill in rendering figures and architectural details.
