attributed to Jérôme Charles Bellicard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of classical ruins. The structures appear slightly elevated to the left. The horizon line is not visible. The brushstrokes are delicate and create intricate details on the ruins, emphasizing texture. The color palette is monochromatic, with black ink on a beige background. The etching features fallen rubble, vegetation, columns, an obelisk, and an archway. In the background, the details fade, showing the ruins stretching into the distance.
