Guardi favoured the motif of a sunlit view framed by a dark arch. The composition of the present drawing appears, with minor variations, in other works by him. The artist was particularly sought after by international collectors for his capricci, whimsical creations that blended famous landmarks with fanciful architecture and vibrant atmospheres. The archway in the foreground of this drawing has been identified as that of the clock tower in Saint Mark’s Square. While plausibly realistic, the landscape in the distance is fictional.
