Notes:
A difficult sheet to date. The verso is in some ways akin to the earliest Domenico drawings of the 1740s, but the rustic figures on the recto seem related to the 1757 frescoes in the Villa Valmarana.
Watermark: none.
Provenance:
Private collection, Madrid; from whom acquired in 1956 by Janos Scholz, New York (see Lugt S. 2933b).
Associated names:
Scholz, János, former owner.
