"Wenlock Abbey, Sharpshire" is a sepia-toned drawing on paper by English artist George Augustus Holmes. Created sometime between 1852 and 1911, the piece depicts the ruins of Wenlock Abbey in Shropshire, England. Holmes captures the crumbling grandeur of the abbey, contrasted with the everyday life of the figures in the foreground, providing a glimpse into the past and present of the site. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this small-scale work, measuring only 228 x 336 mm, providing a detailed yet intimate view of this historical landmark.
