A drawing of an invented view, known as a capriccio. The drawing brings together some buildings from the Forum in Rome, including part of the Arco dei Pantani on the left hand side, and behind some of the Temple of Mars Ultor. The vaulting and fragments of architectural in the centre and right of the composition are fictitious. The drawing is enclosed within a ruled ink border line. An aquatint by F.C. Lewis appeared as plate LXVI of J. Chamberlaine's 'Original Designs of the most celebrated Masters...in His Majesty's Collection', 1812. This was listed under Bellotto by R. Weigel, 'Die Werke der Maler in ihren Handzerichnungen', 1865, p. 69, No. 772. A drawing in the British Museum (1858,0626.242) shows some of the same elements.
