Valletta, Malta
This pencil drawing, previously titled 'St Pauls? Island, Malta' is a view from Grand Harbour looking up to the arcade of the Upper Barracca Gardens, which were built in the 18th century above the bastion seen lower left. The gardens and upper walks remain a place of popular resort, with a number of monuments (including to Admiral Sir Alexander Ball, the first British governor of Malta) and spctacular views over the harbour itself.
