Poems of Thomas Gray, Design 111: Country Church-Yard

A watercolor and ink design shows a poem panel titled Country Church-Yard above two figures: a robed man in a blue cap holds a paper on the left, while a bare-chested gravedigger with a shovel points upward on the right. Green grass, a tree canopy, and grave mounds fill the scene, with a cottage at the right edge.
