On the paper on the back of the painting there is an inscription in French: the ruins of Septizonium with a view to the right of San Gregorio Magno (San Gregoro al Celio). ROME 1937

Septizonium was a multi-storey, nymphaeum-like building built in 203 AD by Septimius Severus and destroyed in the late 16th century, the columns and other materials were later reused for many buildings in Rome.
To be exact, the painting depicts a building with arches from the Termes de la Domus Severiana on the Palatine Hill in Rome. The painting was done on canvas, glued on panel.
The contrast between the warm color of the brick and the blue of the sky is of the most beautiful effect.
Experimental and daring painting technique.
