• On the right one can glimpse the colonnade of the Temple of Saturn.
• In the lower right, a lively group of figures in period costume (travelers and an artist with an easel) underscores the monumental scale of the ruins and the romantic atmosphere of the Roman countryside in the nineteenth century.
