Specialist note
The rendering of the architecture and the figures is very close to that in The Church and Piazza Ognissanti, Florence now in the Morgan Library and Museum, New York (Inv. 1952.30:11). A small engraved visiting card by Gaetano Vascellini (1745-1805), part of a series based on Zocchi's designs, shows the same view as in the present drawing and might have been inspired by it (see British Museum inv. C,1.3823).
