This composition is loosely based on the courtyard of the Palazzo Zorzi in Venice. Francesco Guardi drew two further drawings based on the courtyard, albeit less developed, which are respectively in the Correr Museum, Venice, and in the Boymans-van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdam (A. Morassi, op. cit., nos. 565-6, figs. 558-9). Morassi dates the drawings to 1770-80.
Francesco's son Giacomo executed two drawings on the same theme, A. Morassi, op. cit., figs. 641 and 644.
