Gezicht op de zoutpannen van Trapani 1778

"Gezicht op de zoutpannen van Trapani" (View of the Salt Pans of Trapani) is a watercolor by Louis Ducros, created in 1778. The artwork depicts a panoramic view of the salt pans of Trapani, a coastal town in Sicily, with a distant mountain range in the background. Ducros, a Swiss-born artist known for his landscapes and architectural drawings, captures the serene beauty of the salt pans and the surrounding landscape with delicate washes of watercolor. This drawing is a valuable record of the salt-making industry in Trapani, a significant economic activity in the region. It is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
