After she first visited Italy in the 1960s, Yezerski became fascinated by the ancient ruins and monuments of the Mediterranean world; these became the focus of her watercolor and oil paintings. In a seemingly abstract composition like Villa of Casmir F, Pompeii, Yezerski combines a bird's eye view of the villa with a rich and complex palette of colors. This work is related to a preliminary watercolor study in the Portland Art Museum.
