This is probably a late drawing by Tesi and could have been for a decorative wall painting.
An exquisite 18th-century drawing by Italian artist Mauro Antonio Tesi (Maurino) (1730–1766), titled A Capriccio of Classical Ruins by a River. This delicate work, executed in pen and brown wash with red chalk, showcases Tesi’s masterful use of architectural fantasy, likely intended as a preparatory study for a decorative wall painting.
