Watercolour. 12 by 10¾ in.
A piece of the Piazza designed by Inigo Jones is here shown.
The letters “PS” are stamped on the lower left-hand corner of the
drawing, a proof that it was in the collection of Paul Sandby, but
according to the pencil note beneath it was by Thomas Sandby. Each
brother drew subjects of this character. They were accomplished
artists, and foundation members of the Royal Academy. Thomas was the
first R.A. Professor of Architecture. Paul is believed to have been
the first in this country who practised the art of aquatint.
By T. SANDBY, R.A. (1721-1798).
