Traditionally attributed to Canaletto and considered to be an early work, this painting with its ragged brushwork and anecdotal subject has been seen by some scholars as a later painting, perhaps from the end of the eighteenth century. Recent re-assessments of Canaletto's early career, when he painted freely-handled, theatrical views, suggest that this painting might well be by his hand.
