Sheet of a Ruined Shed, Germany

Andrew Fisher Bunner

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a ruined shed in Germany by Andrew Fisher Bunner. The sketch is on white paper with rough edges. The shed is in the center, with a sloping roof on the right and a vertical wall on the left. The right side of the shed has an overhang with a flat roof. There is a small window on the front wall. Vegetation surrounds the shed, with bushes and grass in the foreground. The sketch is done in pencil with varying line densities to show shading and texture. The background is plain white, suggesting a focus on the shed and its surroundings. The overall impression is one of neglect and decay.
