Catalogue Note
Pierre-Jean Mariette, who owned the present drawing, was a great admirer of Panini's architectural capricci, and many works by the artist appeared in the sale of his remarkable drawings collects
ion.1 It seems that Charles-Joseph Natoire, who was actively acquiring Panini's drawings while director of the French Academy in Rome, also sent quite a few to Paris, primarily to Mariette and Marigny.2
