Joseph Michael Gandy ARA (1771–1843) fu un artista, architetto visionario e teorico dell'architettura, che collaborò a lungo con l'architetto Sir John Soane RA FSA FRS. Gandy trascorse un periodo in Italia tra il 1794 e il 1797.

Soane ne apprezzava l'abilità nel disegno e le capacità compositive; il presente disegno, sebbene di piccole dimensioni, possiede un notevole senso della struttura architettonica, nella stratificazione tridimensionale di edifici, ponte e sfondo. Lo stile sciolto – il modo in cui i riflessi brillano sull'acqua e il sentiero e le figure in primo piano sembrano infiltrarsi nell'ambiente circostante – evoca l'opera \"visionaria\" di Gandy, in cui concepiva fantasie architettoniche con un senso del sublime. Gandy creò numerose prospettive architettoniche meravigliosamente inventive per illustrare l'opera di Soane nel corso della sua carriera, ed espose anche fantasie architettoniche – che giocavano su temi storici, letterari e mitologici – alla Royal Academy a suo nome.

Il bagno, lo spogliatoio, la camera da letto della servitù e la cucina (segno dei tempi) si trovano sul retro. Lo stile Arts and Crafts prevede l'inserimento di numerosi elementi artigianali e storici nel design, come la banderuola e la meridiana in stile chiesa, le finestre piombate e le piastrelle rosse che ricoprono le pareti del primo piano, molto in voga all'epoca per conferire un tocco vernacolare.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGran parte dell'opera architettonica di Philip Marvin era in stile neogotico, quindi è interessante considerare il modo in cui lo storicismo ha profondamente influenzato il design Arts and Crafts moderno.
