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.
Provenance:
Acquired in Florence in 1951 by Donald M. Oenslager, New York.
Associated names:
Piranesi, Giovanni Battista, 1720-1778, Copy after.
Oenslager, Donald, 1902-1975, former owner.
