Painting of a crumbling brick tower with arched windows and a dark doorway in a flat field, with grave crosses and birds under a grey sky.

The Old Cemetery Tower at Nuenen

A weathered brick tower with narrow arched windows and a dark arched doorway rises from a flat, grassy field under a heavy grey sky. Crosses and grave markers scatter the ground in the left foreground, and dark birds circle above the roof. The painting is worked in loose, textured oil brushstrokes.

Español: La antigua torre del cementerio en Nuenen

Una torre de ladrillo desgastada, con ventanas estrechas de arco y una puerta oscura en arco, se alza sobre un campo plano y herboso bajo un cielo gris y pesado. Cruces y lápidas salpican el suelo en primer plano a la izquierda, y aves oscuras vuelan sobre el techo. La pintura tiene pinceladas sueltas y texturizadas al óleo.

Português: A antiga torre do cemitério em Nuenen

Uma torre de tijolos desgastada, com janelas estreitas em arco e uma porta escura em arco, ergue-se sobre um campo plano e gramado sob um céu cinzento e carregado. Cruzes e lápides espalham-se pelo chão em primeiro plano à esquerda, e pássaros escuros voam sobre o telhado. A pintura usa pinceladas soltas e texturizadas a óleo.
