The Shipyards at Civit Vecchia, the port of Rome

This is similar in technique to a drawing of the port of Civit Vecchia, dated 1761, in the Pris Collection in Besanon, M.L. Cornillot, Collection Pierre-Adrien Pris, Besanon, Paris, 1957, no. 149, illustrated. The present drawing was probably executed during the same trip to Civit Vecchia and represents the shipwrights' yard.
The two drawings may be connected to Robert's picture of the Vue de l'arsenal de Civit Vecchia, sold in Baudouin's sale in 1770.
