About this work

This watercolor and pen drawing, titled The Ascent of Vesuvius and attributed to Henry Tresham, shows a group of men in period clothing climbing the rim of a volcanic crater. Thick grey and white plumes of smoke rise from the cone while the climbers lean on walking sticks along the rocky, ochre-streaked slope, and a pale sea horizon stretches in the distance.
