Ruins of an Aqueduct

Jean Morin after Claude Lorrain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a series of ancient stone arches dominating the scene. The horizon is hidden by trees and foliage extending across the landscape. Beyond the arches, the sky stretches horizontally with fine lines. The brushstrokes are meticulous, creating texture on the stone surfaces and surrounding vegetation. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of sepia and brown. Small figures of animals are seen in the distance.
