Probably a work dating from early in the artist's Roman period. It is similar in draughtsmanship and in the use of perspective to two drawings dating from 1757, one in the Musée de Valence and one in the Musée du Louvre (J. de Cayeux, Les Hubert Robert de la Collection Veyrenc au Musée de Valence, Valence, 1985, no. 1 and fig. 6 respectively).
