Untitled is a 1815 by Thomas Baxter, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows rows of stone statues arranged in a church. The figures are dressed in long robes and medieval clothes, some kneeling, some standing tall. A few hold books or crowns, while others rest their hands on small animals at their feet. The artist sketched these statues in two real churches: Salisbury Cathedral and Chapter House. The notes on the page hint at how the originals were arranged in space. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
