Album with Views of Rome and Surroundings, Landscape Studies, page 48a: Roman Panoramic View

Franz Johann Heinrich Nadorp

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sketch of a panoramic view of Rome. A man wearing a long coat and hat sits on a grassy hill, facing away from the viewer, looking out at a body of water and a city skyline. The skyline features various buildings, including a large dome and a tall tower. The water spans the bottom half of the page, meeting the horizon at the center. The sketch is rendered in pencil and watercolor on aged paper with brown spots and stains. The paper's edges are worn and torn. The right edge of the paper is bound in a book with a dark cover. Handwritten text appears in the top-left corner.
