Loggia with Caryatids before a Fountain and Landscape

A pen and brown wash drawing of a loggia with three arches supported by caryatid figures. Through the openings a tiered fountain stands before a landscape of hills, trees and a small village under a cloudy sky.

Look closer: Small figures and a building are tucked into the landscape on the left and right, near the lower edge of the arches.
