Gezicht op oud paleis van de Graaf van Egmond-Pignatelli in Cerignola 1778

This 1778 drawing by Louis Ducros depicts a view of the former palace of the Count of Egmond-Pignatelli in Cerignola. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, uses a monochrome palette to highlight the architectural details of the palace. The artist’s keen eye for perspective creates a sense of depth, capturing the crumbling grandeur of the historic building. The inclusion of figures in the foreground adds a human element and further emphasizes the scale of the structure, creating a compelling visual narrative.
