Herodias: Page 19, The ramparts were thronged with people when Vitellius entered the castle gates

William Walcot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sketch of a large group of people on a street. The scene is drawn in shades of gray on a beige background. Buildings line the street on both sides. The buildings are tall with flat roofs and have archways and columns. The street is filled with people dressed in old-fashioned clothing, some on horseback and some on foot. The people appear to be moving in different directions. Some are wearing hats. A few are holding umbrellas. The overall atmosphere suggests a busy, possibly historic, city scene.
