The artwork captures a somber scene depicting a graveyard, characterized by wrought-iron crosses. The intricate craftsmanship of the crosses appears to be rustic and weathered, yet stands with an air of dignity amidst the elements. The use of watercolor creates a soft, muted palette, rendering a background of earth tones and diffused light. The juxtaposition of the detailed metallic crosses against the blended, impressionistic backdrop invokes a sense of timeless reverence and decay, reflecting the serene yet melancholic ambiance of the Tyrolean graveyard.
