A horizontally oriented ink drawing with gray wash on aged paper depicts the Piazza del Gesù in Rome. A massive, tiered church with a prominent dome anchors the center, flanked by receding streets and rectangular buildings. Small, loosely sketched figures, carriages, and a vendor stall dot the wide square. Scripted Italian text titles the scene at the top, while a Latin key at the bottom identifies lettered landmarks throughout the urban landscape.
