1842
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Monument of Archbishop Greenfield in the Eastern Aisle of the North Transept of York Minster is a 1842 by Jonathan Richardson, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a grand, ornate monument inside a church. The monument is tall and has many intricate carvings. It's placed in a large, open space with high ceilings and big windows. The walls are made of stone blocks and have many arches. There are a few people standing near the monument, looking at it. The drawing is very detailed, with lots of lines and shadows that make the monument and the space around it look realistic. The artist used a technique called cross-hatching to create the shadows and textures. This technique involves drawing many small lines that cross each other to create different shades and depths.

Jonathan Richardson (12 January 1667 – 28 May 1745), sometimes called "the Elder" to distinguish him from his son, was an English artist, collector of drawings and writer on art, working almost entirely as a portrait-painter in London.
