Ruined Abbey

Paul Sandby

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a ruined building on the left side, a figure with a staff near the ruins, and a group of figures and animals passing through a stone gateway in the distance. The sky dominates the top half of the composition, with trees scattered throughout the scene. The color palette consists mostly of sepia tones.
