Liber Studiorum: Plate 34, Llanathony Abbey, Monmouthshire

John Sell Cotman

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white drawing of ruins. The ruins are of a large, tall building with many arches and windows. The building appears to be made of stone and has a Gothic architectural style. It is mostly intact but has significant damage to the right side and top. There are several trees and bushes around the building, and a small bridge or archway in front of it. A few sheep are standing in the foreground. The sky above the building is cloudy, with some birds flying around. The drawing is on a beige background with darker spots around the edge.
