Ironwork at Lansdown Cemetery, Bath is a 1943 watercolor by Ellis, a british_romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a person walking through a cemetery gate. The ironwork on the fence is detailed with swirls and shapes, while the background has faint outlines of trees and a cloudy sky. The colors are mostly pale—soft grays, whites, and a few browns—with the person’s coat and hat standing out slightly. The artist focused on the gate’s design, making it the clearest part of the drawing. The rest feels loose and quick, like a rough draft. This was made in 1943 as a watercolor study. Look up Ellis to see more of their work.
