Album with Views of Rome and Surroundings, Landscape Studies, page 16a: Roman View

Franz Johann Heinrich Nadorp

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image features a simple pencil sketch on aged paper. The drawing depicts a scene with buildings and structures. The buildings are drawn on a horizon line across the middle of the page. On the left, a tall building with a slanted roof and what appears to be chimneys is shown. Further right, there are more buildings with varying architectural features. A tall, thin tower-like structure rises on the left side. The buildings to the right appear more densely packed. Some have arched openings. A large domed structure is on the far right. A tree and other foliage are drawn. The buildings vary in size and style, with some having multiple stories and others appearing smaller. The sketch is on yellowed paper with a rough texture. The paper is slightly darker at the top and bottom edges. A dark brown or black binding is visible on the right side. The background behind the paper is gray.
