Techniques and materials
Michael Liversidge has noted that the abbreviated calligraphic mannerisms Wilson used in this and other drawings made <i>en route</i> from Venice to Rome are reminiscent of certain aspects of Canaletto's draughtsmanship in some of his drawings and etchings, but Wilson's handling is less resolved and he uses a different medium. The drawing style also suggests the influence of <span class="underline">Zuccarelli's</span> Venetian rococo forms.
