Description
The view is down onto Lake Nemi, which lies in the hollow of wooded shores, with buildings on the steep heights to the left and on the opposite side towards the right. In the foreground are two figures on a rock - one perhaps an artist drawing - and a stone-pine with cypresses far right.
