Catalogue Note

The composition of the architecture derives from a drawing by Canaletto in the Albertina, Vienna which in turn may relate to a loss painting by Canaletto (see W. Constable & J. Links, Canaletto, Oxford 1976, vol. II, pp. 609-10, cat. no. 828, reproduced vol. I, plate 156, fig. 828).
