Veduta del Tempio della Fortuna Virile, from Raccolta delle più belle Vedute Antiche, e Moderne di Roma.
c 1786. Etching and engraving with hand coloring in watercolor on laid paper with an E and R watermark. 8 3/8 x 12 3/4 inches (212 x 323 mm), full margins. Minor condition points include the plate number appearing attenuated in the lower right image area, a small graphite mark in the lower right corner on the recto (outside of the image area), and a long but narrow strip of non archival clear tape along the top sheet edge, recto, well outside of the image area. The work is in otherwise excellent condition with fresh color. It bears mention that the figure of the nursing woman in the lower right appears adorned in a bright lemon-colored robe, most commonly we see this figure appear in purple. A scarce representation of this lovely detail.
