About this work

On the lower part of this drawing (now cut in half) Knip wrote 'First sheet of the three marked Q'. Inscriptions like this are found on a number of his drawings. It was the artist's way of indicating that two or three sheets formed a cohesive group. The drawings can sometimes be joined up to form a continuous panorama, as is the case with this view from the Villa Mattei (now Villa Celimontana) in Rome.
