Cathedral Specimen Wall Art

A vintage hand-coloured plate in the manner of an antique botanical engraving, showing Florence's Duomo and Brunelleschi's dome rising above a dense sea of terracotta rooftops. Fine cross-hatched linework and softly washed colour in cream, faded rose, olive green and muted sepia render the cathedral whole and centred as an architectural specimen, morning light catching the lantern and marble ribs.
