Roman remains at Tivoli, from "Roman Ruins"

An etching of a dim, vaulted ruin with receding brick arches, a bright opening at the far left, and tumbled rock and debris across the foreground. Fine parallel hatching models the stone, and clouds show faintly through the upper opening.

Look closer: A signature in the lower right corner reads "W. Hollar fecit, 1673".
