Notes
This unidentified drawing is presumably of a small building near Rome, such as the one shown on the extreme edge of Adam vol.57/79. It is possible that the belvedere and the other one shown faintly behind are those of the Villa dei Medici, Rome, of which there are additional views in Adam vol.57/90 and 57/110.The hand is the same as that at Adam vol.57/132.
