Album with Views of Rome and Surroundings, Landscape Studies, page 36a: Roman View

Franz Johann Heinrich Nadorp

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with a drawing of a landscape. The drawing is on a beige piece of paper, and it depicts a landscape with trees, bushes, and a building in the background. The drawing is in pencil and appears to be a sketch or study. The trees are drawn with thick trunks and branches, and some have leaves. There are also some bushes and plants in the foreground. In the background, there is a building that appears to be a tower or a temple. It has a pointed roof and is surrounded by trees. The drawing is mounted on a blue-green page, which is part of a book. The book is open to a double-page spread, with the drawing on the right-hand page. The left-hand page is not visible. The book has a worn, dark red cover with gold trim. The book is lying on a dark gray surface. The drawing is signed in the bottom-right corner. The signature is difficult to read but appears to say "Rom 14 Dec 1817".
