About this work

This sketch shows old, crumbling stone buildings with broken walls and missing roofs. The ground is uneven, littered with rubble and debris. Bare trees stand in the background, their branches reaching across a pale sky. The artist focused on how weather and time wear away stone—notice the rough texture of the walls and the way light hits the uneven surfaces. This was drawn in 1943, capturing a quiet moment of decay.
