The Grotto of Posillipo by Hubert Robert: A circular painting depicting a dark, stone-walled cavernous space with a high, arched ceiling. The room has a dirt floor and is lit by a light source emanating from an archway in the distance. Several people are present, including one on horseback, and two dogs. A lantern hangs from the ceiling. The painting is set against a gray background and has a thin gold border around its edge.
