Cette aquarelle est caractéristique de la production tardive de Moucheron. Représentant un parc imaginaire composé d’éléments architecturés élaborés et de personnages dans un paysage italien, elle est comparable à une feuille datée 1743, conservée à la Morgan Library and Museum de New York (inv. 1982.91; voir J. Shoaf Turner et F. Stampfle, Dutch Drawings in the Pierpont Morgan Library. Seventeenth to Nineteenth Centuries, New York 2006, no. 406, ill.).

Shoaf Turner, with F. Stampfle, Dutch Drawings in the Pierpont Morgan Library. Seventeenth to Nineteenth Centuries, New York 2006, no. 406, ill.).
