This page contains a very slight sketch of a building and a column beside a lake or river. The drawing is too rough to be conclusively identified, although it perhaps depicts a view of the village of Boffalora sopra Ticino, see folio 44 (D14228; Turner Bequest CLXXIV 43). Alternatively, it may represent a location on Lake Como.
