Om værket
This drawing is a study for the ceiling painting in Queen's College Chapel, Oxford. It depicts the Ascension of Christ who holds aloft a banner, surrounded by angels. While similar in composition to the final painting, another study (Dyce.618) more closely resembles the realised design. Thornhill loosely sketched the composition is pencil before delineating it more precisely in pen and ink, and enhancing the darker passages with grey wash.
