Album with Views of Rome and Surroundings, Landscape Studies, page 17a: Roman Fountian
The image depicts a drawing of a fountain. The fountain features a statue of a man holding a large vessel above his head, from which water flows onto a circular platform. Three grotesque masks are positioned around the base of the statue, each with their mouth open and water flowing from them into the pool below. The background of the drawing shows a large white building with many windows. The drawing is mounted on light blue paper, with the edges of the book visible around it. The book appears old and worn. The drawing itself appears to be done in muted colors, with shades of brown, gray, and green.
