Casa de' Numi

Joseph Wagner

1760

This is a photograph of a sheet of paper with handwritten text. The photograph captures a simple composition focusing on the calligraphic writing on a textured gray paper. The paper has uneven edges and the hand-written text is centered slightly above the middle of the page. The script is in an elegant cursive style. There are no other elements or decorations on the paper; the focus is solely on the handwriting.

Sei Villeggi Campestri, con figurette macchieti dopo Canaletto

Fabio Berardi, Joseph Wagner

1760

The image is an etching featuring a low vantage point looking across water towards a small island or shore area. In the foreground, there is a rowboat with a figure seated inside. To the left, there is a stone structure with an arched opening facing the viewer. Near the building, a few figures are visible, and there is a small tree to the left. In the distance, other buildings, including a domed structure and a tower, are visible on the horizon. The sky is detailed with clouds in fine strokes, giving a textured feel. The color palette is monochromatic with varying shades of brown created through cross-hatching and line work.
