This drawing by J. Blyhooft, a Dutch artist active around the late 17th century, depicts a bustling scene in a Roman setting. The artwork shows a Roman street with a monument to Neptune in the background, showcasing the grandeur of ancient Roman architecture. In the foreground, a carriage is pulled by horses while a man on horseback converses with a woman. The artist's use of brown ink creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the light and shadows of the scene. The drawing is likely a study of Roman life, a popular theme in Dutch art of the period. The Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, houses this intriguing glimpse into the artist's perspective on history and the classical world.
