Binnenplaats van Abbazia di S. Gregorio 1902 - 1906

"Binnenplaats van Abbazia di S. Gregorio" (1902-1906) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande. The drawing depicts the courtyard of the Abbey of Saint Gregory in Rome, Italy. The artist's use of loose, expressive lines captures the atmosphere of the space, with the emphasis on the overgrown foliage and the architectural details of the building. This drawing is a fine example of van 's-Gravesande's ability to evoke a sense of place through his skillful use of line and shading. The work is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
