The Departure of Elisabeth of France for Spain is a 1858 oil by Eugène Isabey, depicting Elisabeth of Valois, held at Walters Art Museum.
The painting depicts a woman in a lavish dress, surrounded by a group of people in formal attire. The scene is set against a backdrop of a grand, ornate building with arches and columns. In the foreground, the woman stands out in her elaborate gown, while the people around her appear to be in a state of commotion. The atmosphere is one of urgency and movement, as if the group is preparing to depart. The use of chiaroscuro in the painting creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure.
