Notes
This is a copy of a drawing showing the entirety of this panel that is in the Hermitage, St Petersburg, Russia, attributed Charles-Louis Clérisseau (1721-1820) (see T. McCormick, Charles-Louis Clérisseau and the Genesis of Neo-Classicism, Cambridge Massachusetts and London, 1990, p.142, fig.120). It is annotated as a 'Fragment de la Ville Adriani a Tivoli' and related to Clérisseau's Borély scheme of 1767 (see Adam vol.26/60). It is possible that this drawing is in Clérisseau's hand and that in the Hermitage is an office copy.
