This painting shows a scene where Richard, Duke of York, says goodbye to his mother. It's a moment from history, and the artist chose to depict it in a quiet way. The detail that stands out is the emotional exchange between the two characters, which is subtle but powerful. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Cipriani, Giovanni Battista.
