The first is based on one of a pair sold at Sotheby's, 10 December 1980, lot 185, (now private collection, Piacenza, F. Arisi, Gian Paolo Panini e i fasti della Roma del'700, Roma, 1986, pp. 460-1, nos. 463-4, illustrated). Arisi records two pictures (Matarazzo collection, Brazil, and private collection, Paris) from the school of Pannini, possibly by Charles-Louis Clérisseau, that derive from the same original (F. Arisi, Gian Paolo Panini, Piacenza, 1961, p. 219, nos. 255-6, pls. 320-1).

The second is similar in composition to the Prediction of a Sibyl, in the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, which also includes the central, turbanned figure in white.
