About this work

This watercolor shows a tall church tower with pointed arches and small windows. In front of it, a few gravestones sit in a grassy yard. The building looks old, with a mix of stone and dark wood doors. The sky is pale, and the whole scene feels quiet. The artist painted this in 1942, focusing on the details of the church’s design. The gravestones add a simple touch of life to the scene. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
