Saint Peter's from the Tiber

Britische Grafik 1775–1790, 1780

The image displays a landscape with a river, trees, and a cityscape. There is a dome in the cityscape that stands out. The brushstrokes are delicate and create a blurred effect. The color palette consists of earth tones and grays. A small boat with figures is floating on the river, and buildings and trees can be seen in the distance against a softly lit sky.
