"Tailpiece, silhouette of a king in procession with courtiers and page" is an ink drawing on paper by John Bennett, created in 1893. The work depicts a procession of figures in silhouette, likely a king and his court, in a stylized, almost whimsical manner. The use of silhouette creates a sense of drama and mystery, while the details of the procession, including the page holding a torch and the courtiers carrying garlands, add to the narrative. The work, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York, is a fine example of Bennett's talent for capturing movement and character through simple lines.
