Porta San Lorenzo, Rome is a 1801 graphite by Victor-François-Eloi Biennourry, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This watercolor painting depicts a castle with a tall tower and a large arched entrance. The castle walls are light brown, and the tower is a slightly darker shade. The entrance is flanked by two smaller towers, and the walls are topped with battlements. In the foreground, a road or path leads up to the entrance, and a few trees are visible in the distance. The sky above is a soft gray-blue, with a few wispy clouds. The painting is a beautiful example of Romanticism, with its focus on the beauty of nature and the grandeur of the castle.
