NOTES: This drawing is probably related to the 'Plan and elevation of a Peripteros temple to painting, sculpture and architecture, designed for the Marchioness Grey' exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in 1773 (no. 284). This drawing is found in an album which was formerly attributed to Sir William Chambers. It contains over 100 theoretical designs, mostly by Edward Stevens but with some by John Yenn and some from the office of William Chambers. Stevens was a pupil of Chambers from 1760 to 1766. The drawings in the album date from between 1762 and 1777.
