About this work
Description
On the left are seen five columns and the dilapidated entablature of the temple of Saturn. In the centre the arch of Septimius Severus is shown with the upper part only excavated, and the Capitol is on the right. On the left an old man walks on two sticks towards the Tiber. Near the arch are two groups each of a seated man in conversation with a standing man. Right, people trudge up Via di San Pietro in Carcere towards the Capitol
