You see a old aqueduct in the painting. It's an ancient structure with arches and stones. The artist likely drew inspiration from real-life ruins, which was a common theme in 18th century art, as people were fascinated by the past and its remnants. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist Jean-Claude-Richard de Saint-Non.
