Le Couronnement du Tzar. Le Cortège imperiale traverse la Place Royale is a 1883 ink by Auguste Gérardin, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a grand procession crossing a large, open square. The scene is filled with people on horseback, some in ornate carriages, and others on foot. In the background, several large buildings with towers and domes rise into the sky. The artist has used a range of techniques to create depth and texture in the painting. The figures in the foreground are detailed, while those in the background are less defined. The buildings and sky are rendered in soft, feathery brushstrokes. This painting is an example of the work of artist Gérardin, Auguste.
