Queen Philippa at the Battle of Neville's Cross is a 1795 oil by Benjamin West, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
This painting shows a dramatic scene of a woman on a white horse, wearing a long dress and a crown, with a sword in her hand. She is surrounded by men in armor, some on horses, and others on foot, all engaged in battle. The background is dark and cloudy, with a sense of chaos and intensity. The woman, likely Queen Philippa, is the central figure, and her presence seems to be the focus of the painting. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer's attention to the queen. The painting is held at the Art Institute of Chicago.
