This black-and-white print shows a grand courtyard with tall buildings and a long colonnade. In the center stands an obelisk, and people walk or work around the area. The foreground has a brick wall with plants and a few figures leaning on it. The sky is lightly sketched with clouds, and a tree branch frames the right side. The print is labeled with Latin numbers pointing to different buildings, like a church and a palace. It looks like a detailed map of a famous Roman site. If you like this, check out Baroque for more dramatic, textured art like this.
