Comment
This drawing, which appears on folio 12 (recto) of the sketchbook, is based on Landscape Composition 27E, etched by Massi after Annibale Carraci, which appears in the Jabach volume Recueil de 283 estampes (Paris, 1754). However, probably Miss Maingey’s immediate source was a lost drawing by Towne (FT854a), which another pupil also copied (FT865).
