Surface: Paper

Approximate age of artwork: Circa 1830–1870

Depiction or Location: Fountains Abbey – Choir Interior, Presbytery and East Window

Unknown British Artist – Romantic Picturesque Style

A finely executed interior study of Fountains Abbey in Ripon, Yorkshire. Likely drawn from the east end looking west through the ruined Gothic choir. This drawing captures the sweeping tracery arches and columned walls typical of Cistercian architecture, with creeping ivy and softened edges emphasizing the passage of time.

This style is strongly linked to the Romantic topographical tradition of the early-to-mid 19th century, reminiscent of works by Henry Gastineau or Frederick Mackenzie, whose art focused on the grandeur of Britain’s ecclesiastical ruins.
