"Prospekt af en italiensk by" (Prospect of an Italian City) is a pen and wash drawing by Danish artist Jens Petersen Lund, created between 1730 and 1793. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a cityscape with an emphasis on the buildings and landscape. Lund's sketch provides a glimpse into the artist's travel experiences and the cityscape he encountered in Italy during his travels. The artwork is characterized by a loose and gestural drawing style, typical of 18th-century landscape sketches. The use of wash adds depth and atmosphere to the composition.
