Brown-toned lithograph of a large oak tree in front of a Gothic church with spires, with small tombs and figures in the grass below.

Gothic Church Behind an Oak Grove with Tombs

A large oak tree fills the foreground of this brown-toned lithograph, its dense foliage framing a Gothic church with pointed spires and tall tracery windows behind it. Small tombs and a few figures stand in the grass beneath the branches, rendered in fine black ink lines with touches of white.
