Carole Robb made this pencil drawing in 2003. It shows part of Hadrian’s Lake at Tivoli, where the emperor built a huge villa. This work is one of fourteen drawings she did while traveling through Rome and the Veneto that year. It joins a group of old Grand Tour watercolors in the V&A’s collection. Like those 18th-century travel pictures, Robb’s drawing captures a famous spot with careful detail. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
