A Study in History and Legacy This drawing captures the imposing presence of the Delaplain Crypt, built in 1856, standing on a corner plot in Green-Wood Cemetery. The structure, surrounded by towering trees, reflects both the prominence of the family and the passage of time.
Part of a Larger Exploration of Place As part of my ongoing project, where I bring only three sheets of paper with me, this work represents the raw immediacy of my impression of the crypt. The dark stone contrasts with the natural light filtering through the cemetery, creating a timeless atmosphere that’s both grand and somber.
