Sotto a Ponte Lupo a Tivoli

Jacob Wilhelm Mechau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with trees arching overhead, obscuring the horizon. A structure is visible in the distance atop a rocky elevation. The engraving depicts intricate textures of foliage and rocks with fine lines. The scene features dark etchings for trees and shadows, and lighter tones for the sky. Two figures are near a stream, one holding a staff, and another figure wading in the water.
