A very similar drawing of two figures is at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa (A. Bettagno, Disegni di Giambattista Piranesi, exhib. cat., Venice, Fondazione Giorgio Cini, 1973, no. 55).
The verso of this drawing, evidently cut from a larger sheet, depicts the waterfalls at Tivoli, where Piranesi drew a number of red chalk landscapes. The Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris has a view of the Temple of the Sibyl datable to 1760, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts has a drawing of the Villa Adriana of 1770, and five further drawings of the same villa drawn in the mid 1770s are in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, the Metropolitan Museum, New York, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and the Uffizi (A. Bettagno, op. cit., nos. 72, 57, 70-1, 73-5).
A drawing by Piranesi with similarly large figures was sold at Christie's London, 6 July 1999, lot 124.
