This 19th-century anonymous drawing, "View of Pompeii," depicts a scene from the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, which was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The artwork showcases the ruins of Pompeii, with a focus on a large, open space with several columns and a central pedestal. In the background, Mount Vesuvius can be seen rising in the distance. The drawing provides a glimpse into the history of Pompeii and serves as a reminder of the power of nature. The artwork is a classic example of 19th-century architectural drawing and is currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
