This sketch shows a damaged cathedral with tall, pointed towers and broken walls. The ruins include a mix of standing stone and crumbling sections, with a fence in front. Rain or wind blows across the scene, making the lines of the buildings look rough and uneven. The title says this is Rheims Cathedral, showing how it looked after years of damage. The artist focused on the texture of the stone and the mood of decay. Next, check out *The Cleveland Museum of Art* to see more of this work in person.
