The Tomb of Irwin

Mrs. Morris's Academy

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Tomb of Irwin by Mrs. Morris's Academy. A black and white image of a framed drawing. The frame has a thick, ornate border, is rectangular and appears to have a rough texture around the edges. The frame surrounds a matte with a double-lined border. The matte is light grey. In the center of the matte is a circular drawing. The drawing depicts a tree on the left and a skinny tree on the right. Centered in the image is a stone tomb. The tomb is rectangular with illegible writing on the front. The background of the drawing appears to be the sky. Across the bottom of the image, a small piece of paper reads "Mrs. Morris's Painting and Drawing".
