EXHIBITION Lausanne, Fondation de l'Hermitage, L'Age d'Or de l'Aquarelle Anglaise 1770-1900, 22 January - 24 May 1999, no. 87. NOTES A watercolour of the same canal from the opposite direction was sold at Christie's, London, 1 October 1973, lot 157, as 'San Simeone Piccolo'. New research, however, has shown that both watercolours are capriccio views and do not depict San Simeone.
