This anonymous etching, created around the turn of the 18th century, depicts the Palace of Cardinal Montalto in Naples. The detailed view showcases the grand architecture of the palace, with its elaborate facade, while in the foreground, a bustling waterfront scene unfolds with ships and figures adding a sense of dynamism and life to the composition. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the city's rich history and architectural splendor.
