Without doubt, Cozens saw these palms in Italy, perhaps on his second journey which took him to Naples. The landscape exudes a languid, Mediterranean atmosphere emphasised by the yellow tinted paper on which it is printed. In the distance the tones are progressively lighter, which heightens the sense of recession.
