The son of the landscapist Gaspar van Wittel and himself an architect, most famously of the royal palace at Caserta for King Carlos III of Naples, Luigi left numerous architectural drawings for churches, palaces and villas in Naples and Rome. The nervous style of the present drawing can be compared to drawings such as one at the Reggia di Caserta (inv. 328; see Dessins napolitains. XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles. Collections des musées de Naples, exhib. cat., Paris, École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, 1983, no. 88, ill.).
