Note du spécialiste

The date on this drawing links it to Hackert's travels in Normandy in 1766 and it is stylistically very close to other surviving bodycolours executed at that date. This tour included a visit to Rouen, which may be the town in the background of the present drawing.

We are grateful to Dr. Claudia Nordhoff for confirming the attribution to Hackert on the basis of a photograph.
