Description
- An architectural Capriccio with ships at anchor beyond
- indistinctly inscribed lower right: Le Palais de Genoa

Provenance
Lady Abdernon (according to a label on the reverse).
Condition
The canvas is unlined. There are several scattered restored holes which are patched to the reverse. The paint surface is, however, largely stable and the cracquelure is secured by the varnish.
