Saint Peter's Basilica and the Papal Palace is a 1748 chalk by Joseph-Marie Vien, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a large building with a dome and a tall tower. The building is drawn in black chalk on paper. There are some trees and bushes in front of the building. The drawing is very detailed, with many lines and shapes. It looks like it was made by someone who was very good at drawing. If you like this painting, you might also like other works by the Baroque movement.
