National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape seen from an elevated perspective. There is a building in the distance with a bell tower. The horizon is high in the image. The drawing style is detailed with precise line work. The color scheme is primarily brown. Closest to us, a stone structure with arches is partially visible, and a few figures are seated on sloped terrain.
