This painting shows a quiet cemetery with tall, thin cypress trees lining a path. The ground is uneven, with some broken stones and a few headstones scattered around. In the background, there’s a small building and distant hills under a pale sky. The trees are painted with loose, quick brushstrokes, giving them a soft, almost glowing look. The light falls unevenly, making some spots brighter than others. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
