About this work

In this drawing, space has been reserved in the foreground for the Arch of Constantine. Unfolding behind it is a vista of the ruins of the imperial palaces on the southern slope of the Palatine Hill. The draughtsman must have stood with his back to the Colosseum or – judging from the fairly high vantage point – on one of the galleries of the Colosseum.
