20122602 Abbaye de Saint-Avit-Sénieur

I hope the drawing reflects the quietness of the sunday afternoon, while I was sketching in the shade of this centuries old cloister. The only movement came from the shadow; the only sound came from playing children on the village green.

 

The Abbey of Saint-Avit-Sénieur is listed as a Unesco World Heritage site, in the context of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela whc.unesco.org/en/list/868
