About this Item

Large watercolour with touches of Guash in its original gilded frame.80x54 cms(frame included) showing a group of people in left side dressed in different manners(militar,fishermen,women etc). Several galleys are crossing the bay with Maltese flags so that most probably it was painted before 1800(date of British conquest).Fort Manuel was rebuilt in late 1780 so this view belongs to this period.The technic and clear design makes it of very fine quality. There are very few examples of this topographical watercolours.We have traced a collection of six views at the Palazzo Falson collection (Mdina,Malta.
