Stefano Della Bella

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a woman sitting under a tree, with a landscape in the background. The woman sits on the right side, wearing a long dress and headscarf. The woman's body faces left; her head is turned forward. The tree she sits under is on the right edge. In the background, a body of water runs along the left edge, with a bridge and a building on the far side. A person on horseback rides along a path behind the woman. The sky includes clouds and horizontal lines at the top. The image is signed in the bottom-left corner and includes text in the bottom-right corner. The drawing style is detailed and uses a range of lines and shading to create depth. The scene appears to be a rural or natural setting. The woman's pose suggests contemplation or rest.
