label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing an imagined view of the Italian countryside with ancient ruins. Cast in dark shadow, the foreground includes a pair of trees that frame the scene at far left, beside the ruinous, stone remains of an arched doorway or window. Light falls on rolling, lush terrain in the middle distance and brightly illuminates another ruin at center right. In the background, large hills are visible at left and right, which frame a possibly snow-capped summit at center, which is tinted light blue by the thin veil of clouds in front of it. The sky above is filled with dark, stormy, and tumultuous clouds, especially at upper right.
