Like most of his fellow artists, Dupré worked not only in the city of Rome, but regularly ventured into the countryside. Here he is in Frascati, a town southeast of Rome. At the left is the 16th-century Palazzo Aldobrandini, and with some effort the silhouette of Rome can be discerned in the distance at the right.
