Bernini Fountain, Rome [recto]

Felix Octavius Carr Darley

National Gallery of Art

This painting depicts a street scene under an archway. The arch frames a view of a street with a stone fountain in the middle ground, sculpted with a figure seated on it. In the foreground, a dog is lying on the cobblestone street, observing a loaded donkey. A barrel is partially visible nearby. The background shows surrounding buildings with windows and facades, reflecting a historic urban setting. The style resembles that of F.O.C. Darley.
