label: Description
content: Architecture and landscape sketch showing a view of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte and nearby rooftops in Rome, looking south from the artist's apartment on Via Gregoriana. In the foreground, purplish-brown rooftops are loosely rendered as they are angled upwards to the right. In the middle distance at left, the belltower and upper portion of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte, with its relief sculptures and Corinthian columns, is sketched in some detail. The right side of this facade catches the red light of the setting sun, while the sky behind it is light blue.
