The NYC Chapter of Urban Sketchers was in Greenwood Cemetery recently, so I met up with them for a bit and did this drawing.
This mausoleum looks small, but if you look through the front door window, you see a set of stairs leading down to subterranean vaults!
I have a whole series of Greenwood Cemetery drawings that I've never posted. I did a lot of research on them, discovering fascinating stories of the people buried there. I couldn't find out anything about this family, the Langlois, though. There are five of them, buried between 1866 and 1893, but I know nothing about them.
I finished the ink drawing on site, and completed the painting later on.
