Kirchhof (Cemetery)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a church with tall, pointed windows from a slightly elevated perspective. The structure is partly obscured by trees, extending diagonally across the composition. The horizon is hidden, with tall trees beyond the church. The brushstrokes are sketchy and expressive, using black and gray tones on a pale background in a lithographic style. The color palette is monochrome, emphasizing contrasts for detail and atmosphere. A fence runs along a path, with a large, dark cross-shaped structure on the right.
