Highly detailed drawing with two travellers on the right foreground approaching
a ruined church building attached to a classical colonnade. In the background
a circular temple can be seen. The architecture forms a fantasy assembly
or capriccio of Roman buildings such as churches, ruins and amphitheatres.
The manner of hatching, the high sense of detail and the subject matter all
correspond to Moninckx’ oeuvre from which only a handful signed drawings
have survived. This drawing is strongly comparable both in style and subject
with a sheet in the Indianapolis Museum of Art (inv. 1988.41). Accompanied by
a certificate.

Stylistically comparable drawings are «The banishment of Hagar and
