Rievaulx Abbey, the North Transept

Roger Fenton

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an elevated view of a building, displaying both its side and front architectural features. The landscape extends into the distance with rolling hills in the background. The color palette is sepia tones. The structure appears to be a ruin with Gothic arches and weathered stonework. Vegetation grows on parts of the building. A dirt path curves away from the ruins with a forest in the distance.
