Toits derrière un mur

Hubert Robert, probablement vers 1754/1765

The image depicts a scene from an elevated viewpoint looking towards the horizon. Architectural elements, including buildings with arched openings and pitched roofs, are sketched with delicate pencil strokes. In the foreground, there are additional structures and figures outlined with smooth pencil marks. The drawing is monochromatic, using shades of gray to emphasize form and line. Faint outlines of buildings in the distance give depth to the composition.
