This bustling drawing captures Piazza Navona in full activity. At the center stands the towering Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, with its dramatic obelisk rising high above the crowd. The square is densely populated: figures gather around the fountains, stroll through the piazza, or line the edges, possibly watching a spectacle or procession.
