Original optical view (vue d'optique) with original hand coloring, about 1760, of the Royal Palace of La Zarzuela, the hunting lodge built in the woods of El Pardo in the time of Philip IV. Title at the foot in French: Vue Perspective du Palais Royal de la Sarcuela, maison de plaisance du Roy d'Espagne.
Optical views were etched, hand-colored and looked at through a viewing box with lens and angled mirror; hence the title repeated in reverse across the top, meant to be read reflected. They were issued by the hundred and much handled: examples keeping their period color are uncommon today.
Medium: Etching on laid paper with watermark, with original hand coloring in watercolor.
Date: About 1760.
Source: Published in Paris by Jean-François Daumont, rue Saint-Martin.
Dimensions: Plate mark 10.6 x 15.7 in (27 x 40 cm).
Condition: Good condition and bright color, with some light foxing in the margins. Presented in a mat.
