The Residency From the Front, Showing the Room in Which Sir Henry Lawrence was Killed is a 1858 by Felice A. Beato, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a large, ruined building with a tall tower on the right. The walls are cracked and broken, with holes and gaps. In the foreground, there are some people sitting and standing around, looking at the ruins. The sky above is hazy and grey. The painting is very detailed, with lots of texture and shading.
