For a watercolour of the same subject and for variants see Diener, CH-D-53 and CH-O-19 to -21.

Rugendas paints all the grandeur of the landscape here in another iconic view of Chile, looking down over the Central Valley to the Andes from the road above Valparaiso, a route much travelled by the artist during his residence in Chile between 1834 and 1842. The subject, like his popular series of views looking over Valparaiso from the same road (see the following lot) would be repeated by Ernest Charton during his residence in Valparaiso from 1858-1860 (see for example Charton's The road from Valparaiso to Santiago, Christie's, 22 September 2010, lot 12).
