Artist, British, 1793 - 1894

The image shows a village churchyard with a medieval stone cross in the center. Around the cross are gravestones, and in the distance are church buildings with slate roofs and ivy-covered walls. The watercolor painting uses subtle brushstrokes to depict the stonework and foliage realistically. The color scheme is warm and earthy, with browns, grays, and hints of green. In the background, a tree and rolling hills can be seen under a pale sky.
