Sketch for the painting "Joan of Arc". The artist showed an important event in French history: the moment when, after defeating the English army during the Hundred Years' War, Joan of Arc leads a dolphin with his retinue to the Cathedral of Reims, where he will be coronated as King Charles VII of France. Michael the Archangel and Saints Margaret and Catherine are hovering over Joanna's head. The cathedral of Reims is visible in the background.
