Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

This is a drawing of an interior of a Gothic-style church. The scene features a long nave with intricately carved columns and arches leading to an illuminated altar in the background. The altar is adorned with two stained glass windows depicting religious figures. Strong lines and shading define the space, creating contrast between the well-lit altar area and the darker surrounding spaces. Benches and ornate carvings line the wall on the right side. The image captures the grand and solemn atmosphere of a historic religious building.
