The image depicts an engraving that illustrates a scenic view of Tivoli, specifically capturing the main waterfall (Cascade) of the Aniene River. The vantage point is from the side of the cascade, presenting a detailed and textured representation of the landscape. In the foreground and leading towards the middle, a rocky terrain with vegetation and a gushing waterfall is visible, showing the dynamic flow of water through a rugged gorge.

To the right, a series of buildings, including a prominent, old brick structure, are perched on the edge of the rocky cliff, suggesting habitation or historical significance. Further in the background to the left, there is a notable ruin, likely a classical temple referred to as "Tempio della Sibilla Tiburtina," characteristic of Roman architecture with its columns and ancient structure.

Various people are dispersed throughout the scene, engaging in different activities, enhancing the sense of scale and life within this natural and historic setting. The sky above is rendered with detailed cloud patterns, bringing a sense of atmosphere to the scene.

The caption at the bottom of the engraving reads "VEDUTA PER FIANCO DELLA CASCATA PRINCIPALE DEL FIUME ANIENE IN TIVOLI," which translates from Italian to "Side view of the main waterfall of the Aniene River in Tivoli." The piece is attributed to the artist Francesco Valesio, indicated by the inscription "Gio Francesco Venturini del. et inc."

This image features a detailed etching or engraving depicting a landscape with classical architectural ruins and a waterfall. In the foreground, a river emerges from beneath a stone archway, forming a waterfall, and continues its flow into the distance. There are several figures depicted alongside the river banks engaged in various activities, possibly agricultural work.

To the left, there are classical ruins including columns that suggest an ancient temple—the inscription identifies it as "Tempio della Sibilla Tiburtina," which refers to the Temple of the Sibyl in Tivoli, Italy. The buildings and stony landscape create a contrast between the rural activities and the remnants of historical grandeur.

In the background, you can see a hilly landscape suggesting this scene is set in a valley. The sky above is filled with clouds, and the entire composition is rich with textures that convey the rugged terrain and the movement of water.

At the bottom of the image, there is an inscription: "VEDVTA PER FIANCO DELLA CASCATA PRINCIPALE DEL FIVME ANIENE IN TIVOLI". This roughly translates to "View from the side of the main waterfall of the Aniene river in Tivoli." There's also an indication of the artist or engraver's name, "Gio[vanni] Battista Piranesi del[in]. et inc[ide]," which suggests Giovanni Battista Piranesi as the creator of this work. The number "28" can also be seen, possibly indicating this piece as part of a series or collection.
