This print shows a quiet cemetery with tall, narrow gravestones lined up in rows. A man in a red coat and hat stands near the front, leaning on a stick. The trees around him are bare, and the sky is light and soft. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to show light and shadow. The colors are muted, but the gravestones stand out with their simple shapes. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and dark for drama.
