Ink, grey wash, sepia and bodycolour
Museum number: P130
On display: Picture Room - inside planes (by arrangement or on some pre-booked tours)

Soane Archives: Journal 6, 25 August 1822 'Paid the Executors of the late Mr. Annesly Esq (by Mr. Tyndale) for a picture of Zucchi £5-5-0'. By elimination as the provenance of the other work in the collection by Zucchi, P131, is known, this must refer to this picture. The Mr. Annesly [or perhaps Annesley] has not been identified.
P131, same artist
