This large composition is an autonomous study by Carlo Antonio Tavella. A prolific draftsman active in Genoa, Tavella was praised by his contemporaries mainly for his landscape compositions. The present sheet was once in the collection of the Genoese Marcello Durazzo and, until recently, it was mounted on one of Durazzo’s distinctive mounts. Another drawing, very similar in size, technique, and subject matter, also from Durazzo’s collection, is in Stuttgart (inv. III/ 1601; see C. Thiem, ‘Carlo Antonio Tavella. Un contributo per il disegnatore’, in Disegni Genovesi da Cinquecento al Settecento. Giornate di Studio 9-10 Maggio 1989, pp. 217-218, ill.).
