National Gallery of Art

This drawing features classical architecture and figures on stairs. The scene shows various figures descending a staircase adorned with columns. One figure stands at the top with raised hands, while another in elaborate drapery is among them. At the base of the stairs is a basket of goods, and beneath the staircase is a heraldic emblem with the inscription 'DUCTI AMOR PATRIAE'. The figures and architectural details are depicted in fine line work, resembling engraving or etching.
