Description
Giuseppe Zocchi,
Italian 1711-1767-
View of the Roman Forum with the Arch of Septimus Severus and the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina at Rome;
black chalk, pen, brown ink and wash on paper, 19.1 x 31.5 cm.

Collection of Sir Horace Mann, 1st baronet (1701-1786), by whom the drawings were commissioned from Zocchi.
thence by descent to Mrs. Doris Ray Courtney Herbert.
Drawings of Views of Rome, Florence, and Elsewhere by Giuseppe Zocchi, The Property of Mrs. D. Herbert of South Africa sale , Sotheby's, London, 11 July 1979, lot 201.
Property of the Late Professor Eric Gerald Stanley, FBA (1923-2018) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Stanley).
Note:
The drawings in the 11 July 1979 Sotheby's sale were removed by Sotheby's from an oblong folio album of Zocchi's drawings, the covers and mounts of which were of early 19th-century date. Sir Horace Mann was British envoy at Florence from 1740 to 1786, and intimate friend of Horace Walpole. Zocchi's drawings were commissioned by Mann, as stated in a note in English in an early 19th-century hand (pasted onto a flyleaf) which reads in part '...Giuseppe Zocchi... these his drawings made for the first Sir Horatio or Horace Mann while Envoy in Florence in 1764 & before & after'.
A certain amount of artistic license is used in the depiction of this scene, since in the 12th century the cella of the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina was converted into the Church of S. Lorenzo in Miranda, and in 1602 it was provided with a Baroque façade.
