"A Vineyard in Olevano" is a pencil drawing created by Pierre Louis Dubourcq in 1843. The drawing depicts a vineyard in Olevano, Italy, with a focus on the grapevines and their supporting structures. Dubourcq, a French artist known for his landscapes and architectural studies, captured the delicate details of the natural world with his masterful pencil work. This drawing is an example of 19th-century Romanticism in art, where nature and its beauty were highly valued. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Dubourcq's keen eye for observation and his ability to translate the subtleties of light and shadow onto paper.

In contrast to many of his colleagues, who settled in Rome and from there made day trips in the immediate vicinity, Dubourcq actually travelled throughout large areas of Italy. He arrived in Turin in February 1843 and gradually headed south. He made this carefully observed drawing of an idyllic arbour overgrown with grapevines in Olevano, near Rome, on 13 June 1843.
