View of a Villa, Pizzofalcone, Naples

Lancelot-Théodore Turpin de Crissé

National Gallery of Art

This painting shows a white and tan building on the edge of a rocky cliff, seen from slightly below. There are arched openings within the cliffside, with some other small buildings tucked into them. The ground is brown and covered with leafy greenery on the top of the cliff and in a cave on the left, with a patch of green grass in the bottom right corner. In the center, distant people and a horse-drawn cart walk on a path below the cliff, towards one of the openings. The sky above is blue with scattered white clouds.
