Front view of the frigidarium in Hadrian’s Baths at Leptis Magna. The drawing is in portrait format. It is framed in ink. Traces of watercolor and inscriptions are visible in the margins. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The cold room consists of several bays delimited by Corinthian columns. They are covered by groin vaults and richly decorated with mosaics. Figures are depicted on a blue background. The walls and floor are adorned with multicolored marble slabs. Three men are bathing in a pool in the foreground. In the background, a group of people enjoy a chat.
