This beautiful painting, very pleasant and bright, probably represents a fantasy view set in the landscape of the Roman hills.
A river flows under a large bridge in the distance and narrows to pass from a small arched bridge in the foreground.
Two figures cross it while others, on the sides of the waterway, observe a pair of oxen that are watering. On the other side of the river, on the left of the scene, stand the ruins of a Roman arch.
The glare of the sky brings out the backlit trees in the typical ways of eighteenth-century landscape painting.
The work reflects the Arcadian style of the Roman school with particular analogies to the compositions of Paolo Anesi. It was in fact probably made in his workshop in order to satisfy the continuous demand for this type of very decorative views, which the Master entrusted to his collaborators.
