Daniël Dupré’s drawing, *View of the Baths of Caracalla (?) in Rome* (1770-1817), depicts a view through two arches in the Baths of Caracalla, an ancient Roman bath complex. Dupré, a Dutch artist, was known for his architectural drawings, which often featured ruins and ancient monuments. This detailed pencil drawing is a study of the architectural features of the Baths, which were in ruins at the time Dupré created this drawing. The drawing demonstrates Dupré’s keen eye for perspective and detail, capturing the depth of the arches and the grandeur of the ancient structure.
