This drawing is a sketch study showing a Venetian lady wearing a full black skirt, white bodice with pink detailing and a black hooded mantle over her head, holds a fan in front of her face and a mask in her other hand. This work was originally part of a dismembered album of fifty-three sketches that would ultimately form part of a Venetian veduta or prospect painting, a genre Carlevarijs is generally credited with establishing in the 18th century. His oeuvre probably influenced view paintings later made popular by Canaletto (1697-1768) and Francesco Guardi (1712-1793).
