The Trevi Fountain, Rome

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · [ca. 1913–1928]

Opposite the fountain we see the facade of the church, with shops on either side. In the foreground are carts, drawn by mules and oxen. On the left a man digs; a priest stands on the right near a rock, above which a massive pilaster rises, with a Corinthian capital. There are spokes in the left (near) wheel of the cart. The woman has vanished in deep shadow. The pilasters on the front of the house have been burnished down. The scaffolding on the extreme left, along edge of the plate, ceases 2 13/16 inches below the top of the plate. The two slender posts to right of this scaffolding have been raised.
