content: Study of a street scene along the Via del Corso in Rome during Carnival. The street is viewed obliquely and rendered in one point perspective. The facades of the buildings on the left are visible as they extend down the street, while, at right, only the side of the nearest building in shown. The buildings are lavishly decorated with red and white banners that wave from the windows and balconies. Numerous figures walk through the street while others hang from balconies and windows. Some of the figures appear to be masked.
