Front view of Rue de l’Abondance, looking east, Pompeii. The drawing is in landscape format. It is framed in ink. Traces of watercolor are visible in the margins. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
Shops develop along a cobbled lane, crossed by donkeys and passers-by. The stores are arranged on the first floor. They are surmounted by residential levels. On the left, figures gather supplies at the thermopolia counters. A little further on, women fill jugs at a fountain.
