Lot Essay

Connected with Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's Varj Capriccj series of etchings issued by Antonio Maria Zanetti (1679-1767) before 1749.
We are very grateful to Professor Bernard Aikema for suggesting the attribution to Giovanni Domenico on the basis of a photograph. Professor Aikema dates this sheet to the mid 1740s.
