content: Landscape study showing a view of the Acropolis from Mount Lycabettus in Athens, Greece. In the foreground, the hillside ascends from left to right with its peak at extreme right. In the middle distance at center left, the Parthenon and other ancient structures are visible atop the acropolis. Between the two prominences, the city buildings of Athens are loosely rendered. Beyond, the port city known as Piraeus is shown along the shoreline while, in the background, coastal mountains are visible across the Saronic Gulf.
