_Headpiece with Landscape and Ruins_

This print is listed in the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen, Dresden, but has been lost in the war. No information as to color or size is available.

The card catalogue has the following description:

"Ruins to the left. In the middle going over a river is a bridge.

To the right is a city view with campanile, dome and other buildings.

Dated 1731."

Probably made for use in a book. This seems to be the print described by Baverel and the "_pet.i.te vue_" Papillon mentioned.
