This sheet is one of 11 claimed to be by infamous British forger Eric Hebborn (1934–1996). Recently, however, it was discovered that this is the right edge of a larger sheet by Francesco Guardi, the rest of which has been in private hands since at least 1920. This new evidence proves Hebborn cannot have executed the drawing displayed here.

Inscriptions
Inscription: Recto: upper left corner, graphite: “3”; lower centre, graphite, monogram: “IID”; lower right, graphite: several numerical inscriptions now erased, only “2” still legible. Verso (obscured by Japanese tissue): upper centre, graphite, underlined: “No. 3”; centre, graphite, too obscured to read clearly: “Canaletto / warranted [?]”; lower centre edge, brown ink, an inscription trimmed away with only the ascenders still visible and thus currently illegible.
Collector's mark: Recto: lower right below sketch and again lower right corner, stamped in black: possibly William Benoni White (L.2592) (? our mark is stamped incompletely, as is L.2592, but inverted; ours also is closer to 3 x 4 mm, while L.2592 is 2.5 x 3 mm).
