The Queens' greeting 1812

"The Queens' Greeting" is a pencil drawing by German artist Peter Cornelius, created in 1812. The drawing depicts a scene with multiple figures, showcasing a central couple embracing while a man on horseback greets them. The composition is dynamic and the figures are rendered with a level of detail, typical of the Neoclassical style. The drawing highlights the artist's mastery of line and form, and provides a glimpse into his artistic development before he became a leading figure in the Nazarene movement. The artwork is currently on display at the Städel Museum.
