This charcoal drawing by French artist Eustache Le Sueur, titled "Ordination of a Bishop", depicts a scene of religious ceremony. The drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, captures the solemnity of the occasion, highlighting the figures draped in elaborate vestments. The composition focuses on the central figures, emphasizing the ritualistic act of the ordination through gestures and placement. Le Sueur's mastery of charcoal is evident in the subtle shading and the depiction of light filtering through the interior space. The drawing evokes a sense of quiet reverence and underscores Le Sueur's skill in capturing the essence of religious devotion.
