About this work

The painting is titled Joan of Arc Standing at the Altar at Reims Cathedral. This work is interesting because it was created by Ingres in the mid-1800s. The fact that it's a drawing, not a painting, is notable - it uses pen, brown ink, and graphite on tracing paper. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
