Lot Essay

Ruskin spent much of June and July 1869 in Verona and the present drawing appears to date from this trip. There is another more detailed drawing of the Palazzo and tower, which also includes the Palazzo dei Tribunale, in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.

We are grateful to Stephen Wildman for his help in preparing this catalogue entry.
