Monk at a Fountain is a 1877 by Francis Seymour Haden, a Impressionism work, depicting Britain, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a lone figure in a long coat standing with their back to us. They’re near a round fountain in an open courtyard, with a building and some stairs behind them. The lines are loose and sketchy, giving it a rough, drawn feel. The artist signed it in the corner with the year 1877. The scene feels quiet and a little mysterious—just one person in a big space.
