An original and rare 18th-century engraving of a capriccio of a Venetian palazzo, by Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto, made in black chalk, pen and brown ink and grey wash. In the foreground is the palazzo, on three floors, with a front entrance, a staircase and a small loggia on the second floor (detail). On the right is an obelisk dominating the small square in front of the palazzo, with scenes of everyday life. The day is clear, without a cloud.
The work is undated and is part of a private collection.
