Notes
This drawing is on one of the original sheets leaves of the album into which the other drawings have been pasted. Like Adam vol.55/folio 48 recto and 55/folio 48 recto, this suggests that the purpose of this volume was always to contain architectural exercises of some sort, presumably commenced in Italy, and probably Rome around 1755.
