Pencil drawing of a small round colonnaded temple among trees, with a tall cypress tree on the right side of the page.

Temple of the Sibyl, Tivoli

A pencil sketch on pale paper shows a small circular colonnaded temple half-hidden among trees and foliage at left, with a tall cypress rising beside it at right. Loose, feathery hatching suggests shrubs and branches in the foreground, and the page is marked with a small number in the lower right corner.
