content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the low-lying pastoral landscape outside of Rome, Italy, known as the Roman Campagna. In the foreground at lower left, a figure is visible--possibly a shepherd. Beyond him, in the middle distance at left, another shepherd stands atop a gentle prominence as his flock of sheep spread down the slope at right. At far right, a group of white goats is visible. Across rolling terrain, several trees and possibly ruinous structures are visible along a flat horizon.
