About this work

This sketch shows a view from a window. You see a long table with two people sitting under a tree. Behind them, a row of buildings climbs up a hill, with mountains far off. The artist drew this from their own window in Florence. The lines are light but clear, focusing on shapes and light. Next, look up Romanticism to see how artists used nature and daily life in their work.
