Possibly this drawing depicts a view near Terni in the Sabine Mountains. Compare two drawings by Knip of a very similar landscape, with a high mountain road and a river in a deep valley, in ’s-Hertogenbosch and Amsterdam (Noordbrabants Museum and Stichting Genootschap Cornelis Ploos van Amstel-Knoef; exh. ’s-Hertogenbosch 1977, nos. 53, 76, reprs.).
