About this work

This sketch shows a quiet, sketchy graveyard scene. Dead trees lean over crumbling tombstones. A fallen bird lies on the ground, its feathers scattered. The background has a distant fence and a few buildings, all drawn in quick, rough lines. The artist used loose, fast strokes to capture the mood of the place. It looks like they were working quickly, maybe outside. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
