Critical commentary
The drawing was used for P155. Chambers Hall described the subject as 'Campagna towards Albano, very elegant in line' but as Ford remarked, the style is different from the Italian drawings. Furthermore the paper bears a Strasburg lily watermark, which is not found in any of those drawings.
