About this work

This drawing shows an old stone church with arched windows and a tiled roof. Two people stand near the entrance, talking quietly. One person sits on a rock in the foreground, holding something small. The ground has weeds and a few flowers, and the walls look worn. The artist used a sketchy, loose style to show light and shadow. The church looks like it’s been there for a long time, with cracks and faded details. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
