Lot description

After 1738

Drawing, pen and black ink, with grey wash, warm yellow paper, 27,5 x 36,5 cm, unsigned (sl. trimmed at lower edge).

Stuck under passe-partout.

An animated view of the famous square in Venice, dominated by the basilica and the statue of Colleoni by Andrea Verocchio. In the foreground gondolas are passing by up and down the canals. Probably after a painting by Canaletto (now in the British Royal Collection, inv. RCIN 400715) of the same square which includes identical figures such as the two boats and the men setting up a tent or market stall in the left foreground. Canaletto has adjusted the view across the Rio dei Mendicanti so that the west façade of the church is almost full frontal and used another viewpoint so that the bridge on the left and the row of houses on the right are all visible; the dome has also been enlarged.
