A Roman Street with Monte Cavo in the Distance

Joseph-Marie Vien

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a street with architectural elements, a statue on the left, and mountains in the background. The drawing uses fine lines and cross-hatching for shading. It is in black and white with varying shades of gray. Buildings with arched windows line the street, leading to an archway in the distance. Birds are lightly sketched in the sky.
