"Architectural Sketches" is a black chalk drawing on paper, dated 1740 - 1750, by the Venetian artist Canaletto. This artwork is held by The Art Institute of Chicago. While the subject matter is not immediately apparent, the faint outlines suggest Canaletto's interest in recording architectural details, which likely informed his famous vedute, or city views. This sketch, though incomplete, reveals the artist's meticulous approach and fascination with the built environment of Venice.
