The painting is called Gardens of an Italian Villa. It was created during a specific time, 1773 or 1774, and this is interesting because it shows what the artist was thinking about during that period. The artist used a certain method to create the work, with brush and brown ink over graphite on laid paper. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
