This antique pencil drawing depicts the coronation of Robert, likely referencing Robert I of France or Robert II (the Pious), kneeling before a bishop or religious figure who anoints him with a sacred blessing. The inscription at the bottom reads: "Robert, a Paris, couronné roi de St. Denis, 940" (Robert, in Paris, crowned king of Saint-Denis, 940). The artwork is executed in a delicate and precise style, with fine shading and flowing drapery, characteristic of historical sketches from the 19th century. The attention to detail in the robes, facial expressions, and symbolic elements (crown, staff, and sacred oil anointing gesture) suggests that the artist aimed for historical accuracy and realism.
