This detailed pen and wash drawing by Dutch artist Jan Goeree depicts a map of ancient Rome, meticulously illustrating its major monuments and the seven hills. Created between 1690 and 1704, the map showcases Goeree's precise cartographic skills, highlighting the city's urban layout and significant landmarks. The inclusion of figures and a classical urn adds a decorative element to this informative artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
