This drawing by Robert Smirke, a British architect and artist who lived from 1752-1845, depicts studies from a French manuscript Bible from the 13th century. The drawing features a variety of figures, including a king, a queen, knights, and other figures, each carefully detailed in their medieval attire. The artist's attention to detail in their depiction of clothing, armor, and architectural features offers a glimpse into the visual culture of medieval France. The studies are likely intended for use in larger historical works, highlighting Smirke's interest in the history and art of earlier periods.
