This drawing shows two sad figures in a tomb-like space. One stands with his head in his hand, looking down at the other, who is kneeling and resting his head on a ledge. Above them is a carved shelf with a small urn, and the whole scene is framed like a gravestone. The text below names the kneeling figure as John Hudleston, who drowned young. The words above the figures are a quote about loss. Look up lithography to see how this image was made.
