The Monastery
Sir David Young Cameron British, Scottish
Not on view
Two monks in white robes stand on cobbled pavement above a stairwell flanked with balustrades, before a cross, with a monastic building in the background. An inscription in Latin is in the foreground, at center, just below the steps. The monastery depicted is located in Fiesole, Italy.
The set of etchings in Northern Italy, 1894-96, is comprised of twenty-six subjects. Twenty-five sets were published by W.B. Paterson, Glasgow in 1896 in addition to a few seperate impressions. Some impressions vary greatly in the amount of ink left on unworked surfaces. This etching is number 3 in the North Italian set.
