Information about the Print
A carriage stand by the ‘horse’ baroque fountain in the Residenzplatz (one of the locations used in the film The Sound of Music)
Blaker wrote in his Autobiography
“I etched the fountain and its Bernini horse - it appears to have come via Rome and the Piazza
Navona - I draw the carriages as they move, avoiding (or being avoided expertly by them) as I stand too close, in the way.”
