This is a black-and-white pencil illustration about Roman Empire. The scene depicts Villa Medici in Rome from a terrace perspective. A detailed view showcases the architecture with arches and a tower on the left. Foreground features manicured gardens with geometric hedges and a central palm. In the background, a large pine tree rises toward the sky. A dome, possibly St. Peter's Basilica, appears on the distant horizon. The composition is balanced, conveying a serene, timeless atmosphere, typical of early 20th-century pen illustrations.
