View of a riverbed (the Tiber?)

Abraham Teerlink (1776–1857), black chalk, heightened with white chalk, on blue paper, c. 1810-1820

Many artists scrupulously inscribed on their drawings where and when they made them. Abraham Teerlink sometimes forgot to do this, and so we are often left guessing as to the geographic location and date of origin of his drawings. We still do not know where he drew this sweeping view of a town along a river nestled among hills.
