115 - FRIEDRICH NERLY, born NEHRLICH_x001D_ Erfurt 1807 – 1878 Venice, Castello Orsini-Odescalchi di Palo. View of the 16th-century castle situated on the beach at Ladispoli on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Sepia pen-and-ink drawing with delicate wash, 1834. Signed, inscribed with the location “palo,” and dated “Dec. 29, 1834.” In the lower left corner, a small sepia pen-and-ink sketch (a coastal scene with boats on the sea at sunset) and color notations. On light vélin with watermark (secondary mark): FI. 21.5 x 33.3 cm. Edges slightly wavy and minimally stained. Nerly, who lived in Rome from December 1828 until the fall of 1835, explored the surroundings of Rome on foot, sketching as he went. Drawings documenting Nerly’s walks along the coast of Latium are rare; most depict scenes from the coast between Ostia and Anzio. A rare subject rendered in the artist’s characteristic drawing style.
