Notes
Listed in the Concise Catalogue (q.v.) under Tivoli: Hadrian's Villa, this identification has not been confirmed. However, the free-hand view is similar in character to those made by Soane after Thomas Hardwick though without the sepia wash and on differently watermarked paper (cf. Tivoli: Hadrian's Villa, SM 45/2/27). It shares the same unusual scale of 2/9 inches to 1 foot as another drawing associated with Hardwick (Pompeii: Temple of Isis, SM 45/3/4).
