Description: | A reproduction produced by the Vasari Society of a drawing by Gaspar Dughet. The drawing is a landscape with a deep valley at its centre. Two waterfalls can be seen running down, and trees are growing on the rock faces. There is an aqueduct or viaduct in the distance. A building stands high up in the top right-hand corner. The drawing is framed along the bottom edge by an irregular pen line. This drawing is on the same sheet as LC 1131/16.
Text from the accompanying booklet produced by the Vasari Society:
"16, 17.
GASPAR DUGHET (POUSSIN)
(b. 1613; d. 1675)
16. A GARDEN DOOR WITH ROMAN SCULPTURE
17. A VIEW OF TIVOLI
Collection of Lady Lucas. Pen and bistre and bistre wash, heightened with white, on blue paper.
(16) 17.7 x 22.8 cm. (6 15/16 x 8 15/16 in.).
(17) 16 x 23.9 cm. (6 5/16 x 9 3/8 in.).
These two sketches and a third, of the Lake of Albano, with a sketch of ruins in the Roman Campagna on the back, bore in the Wrest Park Collection, which descended to Lady Lucas in 1916, an old attribution to Gaspar Poussin. They might, otherwise, easily have been attributed to Claude, who drew sometimes on the same blue paper. An oil-stain in the paper, though fairly transparent in the original, greatly obscures in the reproduction the Temple of the Sibyl at Tivoli.
