Religious Procession Under Trees n.d.

"Religious Procession Under Trees" is an anonymous drawing, created sometime during the 19th century. Depicting a religious procession moving through a forest, the work is framed within a circular window, giving the impression of viewing a real-life scene. The use of soft shading and grayscale washes creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, emphasizing the solemnity of the event. The procession is depicted as a long, continuous line of figures, moving towards a distant destination. This work is part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago.
