-
A drawing of part of a walled courtyard with a rusticated column on the left, and a flight of stairs leading to a doorway with a pediment, on the right.
RCIN 907658-907661, 907664, 907665, 907668, 907669, 907672, 907673 are capricci characteristically Venetian in conception, but their technique is closer to that of Giovanni Paolo Panini. RCIN 907659 and 907664 are almost identical with two paintings which were attributed in the twentieth century to Panini and then to Canaletto. They are probably both by Marco Ricci, and are now in the Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, New York.Provenance
Probably acquired in 1762 by George III from the collection of Joseph Smith, British Consul in Venice
