Queen Eleanor, from Waltham Cross

Maria Denman after John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

The drawing shows a full-length figure of a person standing upright within a narrow, arched frame. The person is positioned frontally, facing forward with a serene expression. The facial features are delicately sketched, with defined eyes, a subtle nose, and slightly parted lips. The hair is long, flowing down to the shoulders with waves, and the person wears a crown. They are dressed in a long gown, holding a scepter. The background is minimal with shading around the figure within the arch. The image is bordered by a square and includes handwritten text below.
