label: Description
content: Landscape study showing an elevated view of Rome at sunset from the slope of a nearby hill, possibly in Frascati. In the foreground, a rocky outcropping stands among grass and shrubs at left. In the distance, across an indefinite and seemingly wooded expanse, the dome of St. Peter's Basilica is visible at center right. Bright pink and red sunset clouds hang above the horizon in a sky that transitions from yellow and orange to a deep blue and green. Above, at center left, the silver sliver of a crescent moon is suspended above the scene.
