label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing an imagined view of a wooded, rolling landscape with a classical ruin. Across a grassy and largely indistinct foreground, a Classical Greco-Roman facade with a doric colonnade supporting an entablature is nestled in a dark group of loosely rendered trees at right. A billowing and partially shaded cloud is visible in the background behind them. In the background at left, a hazy, indistinct landscape extends to the horizon.
