Orphan Girl at the Cemetery - Eugène Delacroix

This poignant work by Eugene Delacroix in 1824 is considered a preparatory study for the "Massacres of Scio" and evokes a deep sadness. The outlines are drawn with great precision and highlight the young girl against the blurred background of the sky and the desolate cemetery. Tears are beading at the edge of her eyes, her mouth is half-open, her shoulder bare, she seems doomed.
