Cicero's Villa
Summary
Rural scene looking past the ruins of Cicero's Villa in Italy and out towards a lake and landscape. In the foreground, a woman and child rest beside the water's edge as a horse is led towards them. To the left, a single cow is visible on the shore, its image reflected in the water below. In the background hills can be seen to the right and in the distance. The sun sets on the horizon, casting a haze over the landscape.
