Album with Views of Rome and Surroundings, Landscape Studies, page 25a: Amphitheater, Tusculum

Franz Johann Heinrich Nadorp

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sketch of an ancient amphitheater. The amphitheater has multiple levels of curved seating. There are some trees and bushes in the foreground and a mountain in the background. The sketch is drawn in pencil and brown ink on aged paper. The paper is yellowed with age and has some darker spots throughout. It appears to be a page from a book or album, as there is a dark red leather binding on the right side. There is some handwriting in the bottom-right corner. The amphitheater is surrounded by trees and bushes, and there is a fence visible in the top-left corner. A mountain rises in the background. The overall atmosphere suggests a serene and historic setting.
