In between various houses and trees.The engraving has been attributed, by Faucheux, to J.B. Collignon, a pupil of Callot, based on a design by Silvestre. The British Museum, however, attributes the engraving to Callot: "This plate was published as part of Callot's set of 12 landscapes made in Florence (Lieure 268-277). The series is problematic: see comment on 1861,0713.1318. Mariette and Meaume both attribute the execution of the set to Collignon, and the design of the present plate to Silvestre." According to Faucheux, it is part of Sylvestre's suite 'Diverses vues de Rome et des environs'.
