Burial Ground, Smyrna
William James Müller 1812 - 1845
Summary
A view of the Turkish cemetery seen in a late-evening light, with a background of columnar cypress trees silhouetted against the darkening sky. The tombs stones, encircled by the backdrop of trees, appear randomly arranged and are scattered amongst trees. The sky is a rich blue with golden streaks on the horizon showing the dying out of the light of day.
