This drawing by Jan Goeree (1670-1731) depicts the Arch of Domitian, an ancient Roman triumphal arch. The piece is a study of architectural details in a typical Baroque style, featuring a reconstruction of the arch above and a view of its ruins below, combined with other decorative elements. It is a testament to the fascination with classical architecture and its rediscovery in 17th and 18th-century Europe, and showcases Goeree's talent for architectural representation.
