- Description: This work and Landscape with Various Figures were probably purchased by Cardinal Pozzobonelli as a pair, though they were not originally put together by the artist, especially since they are from two different periods of his career. This painting, in fact, was carried out in the thirties of the eighteenth century, as evidenced by the freer but also more detailed execution, typical of Locatelli's mature period. The representation is simplified with only a few figures, but there is a strong compositional harmony derived from a careful study of nature and from the use of bright colors.
