A town on a lake, with two horsemen and a woodcutter on the near bank

This is one of a set of six gouaches which was almost certainly acquired by Anthony Lefroy, the prominent Leghorn merchant who assembled an outstanding collection of coins and antiquities of which a catalogue was printed in 1763. Part of the collection is now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and the coins were acquired by King George III and passed with his collection to the British Museum, London. His other possessions, of which the present one was part, however, were divided between his sons and later dispersed.
