A drawing of a view of a terrace to the right of which is a classical aedicule connected by a balustrade to a flight of steps at the top of which is a statue on a plinth. Behind is a temple, a statue, a column and a tree.

This drawing is among a group entirely lacking the marked mannerisms of what appears to be Ricci's late style, and can therefore be tentatively classed as early. These drawings are distinguished from the supposed late works by being small in scale and sketchy in quality. Some may be views noted down in front of nature, but in general they seem to be first ideas for imaginary landscapes.
