Studies of the Villa Cicerone at the Lago Lucrino near Naples and of the Temple at Paestum (Italy) 1830 - 1873

Pierre Louis Dubourcq's "Studies of the Villa Cicerone at the Lago Lucrino near Naples and of the Temple at Paestum (Italy)" is a pencil drawing that showcases two architectural structures. The drawing is divided into two sections, with the top depicting the Villa Cicerone and the bottom section depicting the Temple at Paestum. The Villa Cicerone is shown in the distance, partially obscured by a line of trees. The Temple at Paestum appears in the foreground and is depicted in greater detail, giving a sense of its scale and grandeur. The use of minimal detail and light shading further contributes to the drawing's sense of realism and its depiction of architectural forms.
