The Pyramid of Sesto near the Gates of St. Pauli in Rome

Franz Edmund Weirotter

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large conical structure covered in vegetation. The horizon is blocked by the structure, which features arched windows and vines. The sky has swirling clouds. The painting is done in a cross-hatched style, and there are two figures on a rocky outcrop. The color palette is mostly browns and sepia tones.
