"Travellers among Roman Ruins" is an undated pen and brown wash drawing by Pieter Stevens (1567-1624). The circular composition presents a picturesque view of Roman ruins with figures passing through the landscape. A towering column dominates the center, while other crumbling buildings and a distant city are seen in the background. The detailed depiction of the ruins and the serene landscape exemplify the 17th-century Dutch fascination with classical antiquity. The artwork showcases Stevens' mastery of drawing and his ability to capture the beauty and historical significance of Roman architecture.
