About the piece

Painted in 1896 by Laurits Tuxen, this oil sketch depicts the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II. The work is characterized by loose, atmospheric brushwork that masterfully conveys the weight of the crowd and the luminous, icon-clad walls of the Moscow cathedral, rendered in a regal palette of crimson and gold.
