About this work

This drawing shows an old church chapel. The floor is stone, and a fancy tomb sits in the middle. Above it, a tall window lets in light. The roof has wooden beams, and a statue stands on the tomb. The tomb looks like a small altar, with carvings and a cross on top. The artist used soft shadows to make it feel quiet and old. Want to see more? Check out Henry Hunt.
