Original artwork description:

This is a pastel drawing of amphitheater in Pula, where I have lived as a child. It is created after my photo.
The amphitheater in Pula or Pula Arena is the largest and best preserved monument of ancient architecture in Croatia. It is the 6th largest Roman amphitheater in the world, and the only one in the world with all three Roman architectural levels entirely preserved.
It is not yet fully known why the Romans did build this monumental building in Pula. One legend says that the construction of the amphitheater in Pula was commissioned by Emperor Vespasian in honor of his mistress Antonia Cenida who had estates in Pula.
Drawing is created on a brown pastel paper and it is protected with professional spray.
