N.B. The work may have been created as a drawing exercise. The collector's stamp refers to Anton Schmid, born in Oderfurt, Czechoslovakia, and trained in Vienna as an architect Lugt, 2330b). Beginning in 1935 Schmid collected drawings and watercolors from the 15th century to the end of the 19th century, which he bought in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

Laid paper with watermark of a standing figure holding a lantern. The work has glacine hinges at the upper corners and is prevalently foxed on both sides.

The collector's mark on verso is unidentified.
