Painting of an 18th-century outdoor festival with crowds in period dress, greenery garlands on posts, a dog in front, and a woman in a yellow gown.

Festival in Piazza Navona

A crowd in 18th-century dress gathers at an outdoor festival, with figures on a wooden platform at left, swags of greenery strung between posts, and a small dog in the foreground. Warm brown tones and loose, quick brushwork render a man in red coat and gold trim, a woman in a yellow gown, and onlookers across an open square.
