Notes
This is a copy of the "Mausoleo Antico" plate of Piranesi's "Prima Parte di Architettura, e Prospettive" (1743). For another copy by the same hand, see 1982.75:351; given that that drawing copies a plate that only appeared in editions of the Prima Parte from 1748 onward, both drawings must postdate that time.
