Artist, American, 1887 - 1953

The image shows a detailed black and white etching of a church and its surrounding graveyard. The church structure dominates the middle section of the image with pointed arches and a crenellated roofline. Fine lines are used to capture textures such as the brickwork of the church, the roughness of the gravestones, and the leafless branches of the trees. A stone wall runs horizontally at the bottom, with uneven gravestones and slightly overgrown grass beyond it. The color palette is monochromatic.
