Imaginary landscapes such as the two on the present sheet were produced in great numbers by the Carracci studio and their followers, many of which sheets are preserved in the Musée du Louvre (see C. Loisel, Inventaire général des dessins italiens, VII, Ludovico, Agostino, Annibale Carracci, Paris, 2004, nos. 786-841, ill.).
