View of the Acqua Acetosa (recto); David and Goliath (verso)

Claude Lorrain

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image displays a sepia-toned artwork divided into two sections. The top section shows a landscape drawing with a cloudy sky, trees, and a body of water in the background. In the foreground, there are cows and people. The bottom section depicts two sketches of a man in different poses, both holding a sword and wearing a head covering and a skirt-like garment. The man on the left appears to be holding the sword behind him, while the man on the right is holding it up and appears to be in motion. There is writing on the bottom section, but it is illegible. The paper has a light-brown color with darker brown spots and marks throughout.
