Old wall near Alatri 14 - 1831

This pencil drawing by August Lucas, titled "Old wall near Alatri," is a delicate and detailed study of an ancient wall in Italy. Created between 14 and 1831, it likely depicts a section of the Roman city walls of Alatri, known for its imposing fortifications. Lucas's precise lines capture the texture of the stones and the way they fit together, while the lone figure adds a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. This work showcases Lucas's interest in architectural details and the grandeur of historical structures.
