Cecilia Metella 

Ludwig Metz's "Cecilia Metella" is a pencil drawing of the ancient Roman tomb of Cecilia Metella, located just outside of Rome. The drawing depicts the circular tomb with its characteristic cylindrical shape, partially obscured by foliage and the passage of time. Metz, a German artist born in 1822, captures the structure's grandeur even in its dilapidated state, highlighting the enduring power of Roman architecture and its enduring legacy. The drawing is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
