About this work

Knip seems here to have drawn a section of the aqueduct that even now is still known as the Aquadotto Neroniano, the ancient Aqua Neronis. It is located not far from the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, whose two domes and tall bell tower Knip included in the right background of his drawing.
