Nella Venuta in Roma: pl. 1

Franz Edmund Weirotter after Étienne de Lavallée-Poussin

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures inscribing text on a wall in a natural landscape. The scene features two figures writing or inscribing words on a stone wall that is overgrown with vines and foliage. In the top left, the foliage forms a face. Trees and a cloudy sky are in the background. The style is reminiscent of classical or Renaissance illustration, with intricate details and dynamic postures depicting action and focus.
