In contrast to many of his colleagues, who settled in Rome and from there made day trips in the immediate vicinity, Dubourcq actually travelled throughout large areas of Italy. He arrived in Turin in February 1843 and gradually headed south. He made this carefully observed drawing of an idyllic arbour overgrown with grapevines in Olevano, near Rome, on 13 June 1843.
