A drawing of an oblique view of part of a castle, with an arched gateway. Facing it, on the right is a portico with a vertical scale of measurements inscribed down the length of the columns. This is closely similar to designs by Filippo Juvarra for Tito Manlio, and perhaps for the same opera.
Provenance
Probably acquired in 1762 by George III from the collection of Joseph Smith, British Consul in Venice
