Joseph Nash

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a cathedral interior. A family of three and a small dog are in the center of the image. The woman on the left is wearing a dark floor-length dress. The woman has a light-colored scarf or shawl around her neck and on her head. The man next to her has facial hair and is wearing a thick sweater with vertical stripes and a hat. The child next to the man is holding his hand and wearing a dark short-sleeved top and shorts. The small dog on the left has a long body and short legs. Behind the people, on the right, is a large ornate box-like structure. The structure has a flat top with a decorative fringe underneath. The structure has three rows of four small arches. The structure is supported by four columns. On the left is a stained-glass window with a gothic arch at the top. The window has a diamond-shaped grid pattern. On the right side of the image, behind the structure, there are more gothic-arch windows and columns. The floor is made of square tiles. The wall on the left appears to have several alcoves. The image is sepia-toned. The image has a beige border. The text at the bottom reads, "SHRINE IN THE CATHEDRAL OXFORD".
