Sonnabend - Gottesacker zu St. Peter in Salzburg (Saturday - Graveyard of St. Peter's in Salzburg)

Ferdinand Olivier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a cemetery with a large stone building on the right-hand side and a winding pathway leading deeper into the scene. There is a high rock face enclosing the area, with a monastery structure built into it and distant trees in the background. Numerous gravestones and ornate crosses are scattered across the grass lawn. The artwork is detailed, with precise linework and shading, in sepia and gray tones.
