Williams described this work for us: ‘During the Harvest, a moveable Altar upon a Cart is used in remote parts of the Campagna; the men cannot be spared to go to Mass. I have shewn one person under a tent suffering from fever. The women go out for the Mass and to carry provisions. On the right-hand side they tread the corn with oxen. The scene is a view of a little beyond Tivoli in the Valley of the Aqueducts'.
