The Acropolis, Athens: The Pnyx, Areopagus, Acropolis and Mount Hymettos
An etching of the Acropolis at Athens seen across a rocky foreground and a broad stepped stone terrace, with ruined temple columns and walls crowning the hill. Fine parallel hatching renders the pale sky, distant hills, and scattered stones on the ground.
