For a related drawing, presumably a study for the present work, see Constable, op. cit., no. 793, pl. 149. J.G. Links, loc. cit., dates the present painting 'after 1755'. A capriccio with a similar composition is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; this is datable to the 1740s (Kauffmann, op. cit., pp. 53-4, no. 54, illustrated; Links, op. cit., p. 54, no. 166, illustrated; Corboz, op. cit., II, p. 648, no. P 298, illustrated)
