About this work

This drawing shows a walled city with tall, pointed towers and narrow streets. People walk along a dirt path lined with bushes and trees. The buildings inside the walls have steep roofs and spires, and one large church stands out in the center. The artist focused on the fortress-like walls and the mix of small houses and big churches. The scene looks like a quiet, old European town. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this drawing in person.
