The Sepulchre

Samuel Palmer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of two people near a sepulchre at night. The scene takes place outdoors with trees on either side and behind the people. The illustration is highly detailed with dense cross-hatching and shading. The individuals are dressed in what appears to be simple, old-fashioned clothing. The person on the left is leaning over something on the ground, while the other person stands beside a rectangular structure. The moon shines in the background on the left side of the image. The artist's style emphasizes texture and atmosphere. The title of the piece is "The Sepulchre" by Samuel Palmer.
