The painting, very pleasant and bright, probably represents a fantasy view set in the landscape of the Roman hills.
A river flows under a large bridge in the distance and narrows to pass by a small arch bridge in the foreground. Two characters cross it while others, on the sides of the watercourse, observe a pair of oxen that are drinking.
Across the river, on the left of the scene, stand the ruins of a Roman arch.
The light of the sky brings out the trees against the light in the typical canons of the eighteenth-century landscape.
The work reflects the Arcadian style of the Roman school with particular analogies to the compositions of Paolo Anesi.
In fact, we believe that it was created by a student working in his workshop in order to satisfy the continuous demand for this type of views, which the Master entrusted to his collaborators.
