Title	Villa Aldobrandini
Description	This image is a watercolor conceptual painting of a villa done by Sam H. Gibbons in 1936. The painting shows the floor plan of the villa, outlining its rooms, walls, doorways, and columns. It also shows an aerial view of the grounds with pathways, hedges, grass, and steps. The painting is set within framing art with a scalloped border, trees, a close-up of two columns, and a potted plant in a stone vase. In the lower right corner are two labels which read: "School of Architecture, Architectural Renderings, RG 457, Original Number 75A, 'Villa Aldobrandini', 1936" and "75A." The artist's name is inscribed under the labels and there is an illegible handwritten inscription in orange above the labels. The painting is in fair condition with some minor tears and small pieces missing from the edges and right corners and is encapsulated.
