content: Architecture sketch showing an oblique view of the Arch of Septimius Severus in Rome, from the northwest. The base of the arch's southernmost section and side archway dominates the composition in the foreground at left and center. Relief carvings in the base of either column are clearly legible at center left and center right. The southern side archway, with its coffered ceiling, is prominently visible at center, while the lateral opening to the primary archway is partially cut off at left. In the background at right, a building overlooking the Roman Forum is visible. The sky above is blue and clear.
