拍品专文

This unusual drawing appears to relate to a sheet by the Swiss artist Franz Kaisermann (1765-1833), who was a pupil of Abraham-Louis-Rodolphe Ducros. Dated 1803, his Rome from the Villa Madama, with St. Peter's seen through trees to the right, and the Tiber to the left depicts a very similar view through the trees towards Rome, with a small group of travellers in the foreground. Kaisermann made at least two later known versions of the subject, and it is very possible that one ended up in Devon where it was seen by White Abbott.
We are grateful to Dr Richard Stephens for his help in preparing this catalogue entry.
