Stampfle, Felice. Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Drawings in the Pierpont Morgan Library. New York : Dover, 1978, no. 60, repr.
This drawing is related to Piranesi's Diverse Maniere but neither the chimneypiece nor table appear in the plates of that work. A drawing of a table in the collection of Sven Gahlen, London, is said by William Rieder (1973) to have been the upper left portion of the Morgan sheet.
