Vitzthum was the first to point out that this sheet is a copy of an Annibale Carracci drawing in Budapest (repr. Master Drawings, vol. 5, no. 3 [1967], pl. 9; another, poorer copy is in the Uffizi [ibid., pl. 8]). Grimaldi is known to have made many copies of Annibale's landscape drawings (ibid., p. 259), and the old inscription supports the traditional attribution.
