Notes
The drawing may be a view of the interior of the circular and domed Temple of Minerva Medica, or perhaps an interior from the ruins at Tivoli. The sheet is similar to Adam vol.57/65, also attributed to Jean-Baptiste Lallemand, both in the oxidisation and in the later hand of the renumbering, the original, perhaps, having become illegible. There are similar drawings in this condition in the Clerk Collection, Scotland (see especially Clerk 63).
