DescriptionThis drawing by Giuntotardi of the Temple of Vesta, known as della Sibilla, in Tivoli seems to be in preparation for the etching published in 1825 by him and Antonio Testa as a series of prints after Giuntotardi’s drawings of Tivoli and its nearby locations. The etching, although larger in size, reproduces the lines and shading in this drawing faithfully, while other versions of this drawing show variations in the depiction of clouds and foliage, as well as the number of figures.InscriptionsBeneath the drawing on the mount in pen and brown ink: 'Tempio di Vesta detto della Sibilla in Tivoli'Material
