A Souvenir of Ostia by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot: A landscape drawing on a rectangular piece of aged paper with darker edges. The landscape drawing depicts a hillside with a few trees. The trees have thick trunks and bushy tops. The trees are on the left and middle of the drawing. The right and center background shows a low building with a dome on top. The sky has horizontal lines running across it and scattered clouds. The entire drawing is made up of intersecting black lines on a light background. The lines vary in density, creating different shades of gray. The image border has thin, uneven white edges around it.
