<p>See No. 502 [<span>N05487</span>]. The scene appears to be a view on the Grand Canal but it has not been possible to identify the view precisely.</p>
<p>There are irregular paint losses down the left-hand edge, now restored. Impressed rectilinear lines of dirt, also now removed or concealed by restoration, show that other pictures were leant against this one while the paint was still wet.</p>
