A beautifully framed original old print sourced from Rudolf Lesch Fine Arts, Inc., renowned mid-century dealers in antique engravings and architectural views. This hand-colored 18th-century engraving depicts the evocative ruins of Porta Collatina, one of ancient Rome’s historic gates, labeled “Porta Collatina, ora Liciniana” and numbered No. 72.
The engraving is presented in a refined 8.25” x 10” silvered frame with an elegant bluish grey velvet mat, lending a soft, noble tone to the composition. A 19th-century iron key (4.5” long) is included with the print —a symbolic and decorative accent that evokes the timeless intrigue of unlocking history.
Labeled on the reverse as “Corso, Views color”, this piece is part of a curated selection of architectural vistas originally distributed by Rudolf Lesch Fine Arts, known for their high-quality European engravings.
A striking blend of classical grandeur and curated vintage charm—perfect for gallery walls, libraries, or collectors of Grand Tour–era prints.
