Beschreibung:

circa 28,5 x 43,5 (inside of mat)., 1 leaf. in mat (passepartout), framed Elegant drawing with a view at the villa and church of San Giorgio, to the left unfinished sketch of the sculptures on the steps leading up to the exedra. The villa, built for the Venetian patrician Francesco Duodo around 1590 is attributed to the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi with later additions being designed by Andrea Tirali. - The drawing has an old inscription in pencil in German: "bei Bataglia B. Fiedler". - Battaglia Terme is a town near Monselice, also in the province of Padova. The painter Bernhard Fiedler (1816-1904) is most famous for his travels and paintings in the Near East, especially Palestine and Egypt, but he did spend longer periods of time in Italy as well during the 1840ies and 50ies. The attribution is plausible.

Bemerkung:

- Few small stains, otherwise clean and nice. - In a very elegant frame.
