Notes

This view is a companion to that in Adam vol.57/90. Both show the Villa dei Medici, Rome, and the Pincio from below, and may be compared with another drawing in Adam vol.57/124. The viewpoint here is probably from the Orti Nari on the Via del Babuino (see R. Keaveney, Views of Rome, London, 1988, p.182).
