content: Landscape sketch showing a view in Italy of the Sorrento Peninsula and the island of Capri, from the coast near Pompeii. Flat, low-lying, and lightly wooded terrain extends across the foreground, while the island with ruins known as Scoglio di Rovigliano is visible just off the shore, in the middle distance at center. At left, the various peninsulas and capes along the dramatic northern coast of the Sorrento Peninsula extend obliquely into the background, where the rugged island of Capri is visible along the horizon at right.
