About the piece
Painted in 1867 by Auguste Dutuit, this scene captures the formal departure of cardinals from a papal audience. The composition features the striking contrast between the vivid red liturgical robes, the ornate striped uniform of the Swiss Guard, and the somber black attire of the attending gentlemen, all set against the monumental architecture of the Vatican.
