This anonymous 18th century etching, titled "Ruïne met bogen en beelden in Rome," depicts a Roman ruin. The composition focuses on a partially-collapsed structure with arches framing a statue of a draped figure. This architectural drawing is likely part of a larger series documenting Roman aqueducts and water infrastructure. The detail of the inscription, "Ruinen van de Vergaerplaats van de Roomsche Waterleidingen," reveals the work's focus on the engineering of ancient Rome.
