A Ponte Rotto Original Art Etching 1820 Rome Italy
This is an original 19th century etching by an Italian artist. The scene depicts an old weathered and worn stone building. The architectural details show beautifully, and the cracks and crumbling fa çade lend it a distinct beauty all its own. Villagers can be seen conversing on the stone pathway. The right side of the old structure is in shadow, which adds to its mystery.
