content: Architectural and landscape sketch showing a view of city buildings beside a river, likely the Tiber in Rome. In the middle distance at center, a prominent dome--perhaps that of St. Peter's Basilica--rises higher than the rectangular buildings that surround it. In the foreground, the waters of a river wind around a steep bank at right.
