The Departure of the Procession from St. Etchmiadzin Cathedral is a 1898 oil by Vardges Sureniants, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Armenia.
This painting shows a crowd of people in traditional robes gathered outside a large stone building. The building has a big archway in the center and smaller windows on either side. The crowd is made up of men, women, and children, all dressed in long robes with intricate patterns and designs. The people in the crowd seem to be waiting for something to happen, and some of them are looking up at the building or at each other. The artist has used a lot of detail to show the textures of the robes and the stone building, and the colors are muted but rich. The scene is peaceful and serene, and it looks like the people are waiting for a religious procession to start.
