A horizontally oriented drawing in ink wash over graphite on squared beige paper shows a panorama of Rome. Fine grid lines overlay the view. To the left, a massive circular fortress looms over a river where small rowing boats drift toward a multi-arched bridge. In the distance, a large dome rises above the city skyline. Two figures stand on a balcony in the lower right. Cursive script lines the top and bottom.
