The Triumphal Arch by Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Black and white drawing on a beige background. A very cluttered scene depicts a triumphal arch in the background with a balustrade, and columns. A man on a pedestal holds a scepter and laurel. The foreground features a chaotic pileup of masks, helmets, armor, weapons, shields, a palm tree, and a bust on a pedestal.
