DescriptionA view of a cemetery. In the foreground is a monument in the shape of a fluted Doric column with a sundial on the top. The name on the base reads, "CROSBY"; the epitaph on the capital reads, "THERE WOULD BE MY SHADOW / HERE BELOW / WERE THERE NO LIGHT ABOVE". Other gravestones are visible in the background, as well as what appears to be a mausoleum. Trees and a fence are in the background.
