This painting shows a stone sculpture of the river god Tiber in a garden. The sculpture is surrounded by trees and a path. It's interesting because the artist used a large-format glass negative to create it, which was a new technique at the time, allowing for more detailed photos. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
