Lievin Cruyl

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned drawing of a city square titled "Eighteen Views of Rome: The Piazza del Popolo" by Lievin Cruyl. The square is large and open with a tall, thin obelisk in the center-left. There are several buildings around the square, including a large church with a clock on its front facade to the right, featuring a triangular pediment and a large circular clock face. The church has a dome and two towers on either side. A row of short posts lines the foreground. In the bottom-left corner, a person sits on a ledge next to a rolled-up object. The sky is light-colored. There is cursive writing at the top and bottom of the image. The drawing shows a horse-drawn carriage and people in the square. The buildings in the background include domes and spires. The overall scene is detailed with many architectural features.
