The Canal Grande in Venice

View on the Canal Grande in Venice with some gondolas; gentlemen conversing in the foreground. On the right and on the left large palaces. Very cloudy sky. For this impression the title has been left out.

From a collection of prints published by Küsel in 1670, titled: 'Ioannis Guilielmi Baurn, Iconographia....' showing 'capricci' and views from Italian cities and statues. l Etching on paper, trimmed within plate mark, mounted on double colored cardboard; total: 132 x 204 mm; Hollstein German, XX, 105, 301-446, Thieme Becker I 448 (?)
