label: Description
content: Perspective view of the backside of Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, Germany. The palace windows are cut out, with thread and colored fabric visible through the openings. An elevated, colonnaded walkway forms a ring around the back of the palace, with an inclined ramp leading down from an opening at center. A tall, sinuous tree grows from a small hill at left. Pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages roam the flat space in front of the palace, and in the bottom right corner, a trio of men stand on a rock conversing. Above the palace, a strip of pink sky fades into a light blue, which stretches across the upper margin. Printed along bottom margin: Villae Regiae Sanssouciane posticae partis prospectus. / Veduta del Castello Reale di Sans Souci, di dietro.
