Churchyard in the Rain 1883

"Churchyard in the Rain," created in 1883 by Vincent van Gogh, captures a somber scene of a cemetery in a downpour. The pen and ink drawing depicts a group of people in the foreground, some carrying an object, likely a coffin, through the rain. The background shows buildings and a heavy, gray sky, further enhancing the melancholic mood. This work, housed in the Albertina in Vienna, is a poignant example of Van Gogh's early style, characterized by expressive lines and a focus on the emotional impact of everyday scenes.
