Alcamo, Sicily is a 1750 watercolor by Henry Tresham, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a landscape with rolling hills and mountains in the background. In the foreground, there are people and horses on a dirt path. The sky is cloudy and gray. The scene appears to be a rural area, possibly in the late 18th century. The people are dressed in simple clothing, and the horses are pulling carts or carriages. The mountains in the background are rugged and rocky. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who focused on landscapes and rural scenes.
