Notes
In the opinion of A. A. Tait, this drawing relates in time and place or subject to those contained in Adam volume 56.This drawing, like Adam vol.8/55, was probably copied from one made or acquired by either Robert or James Adam when in Italy (see Adam vol.26/31). There are several such compositions by the same draughtsman in the same unattractive style found throughout the Adam volumes (for example see Adam vol.21/131).
