What is in the image: this is a painting by caspar david friedrich titled "monastic ruins by the sea." it depicts the crumbling remains of a stone building located near the sea under a dramatic, cloudy sky. tall, dark cypress trees stand beside the ruins, and a flock of birds flies overhead. light streams down from the sky, illuminating parts of the ruins and the sea. the overall mood is somber and evocative, typical of romantic landscape painting.
