Oil on canvas, 230 x 170 cm
Museo del Settecento Veneziano, Ca' Rezzonico, Venice
The painting comes from the Palazzo Nani, where the library ceiling was decorated by Maffei with depictions of the five senses. This painting is an allegory of sight, as may be deduced from the presence of a mirror and an eagle.
