Condition
Both hinged at the top to what appear to be relatively modern mounts. One (Trajan's column) is laid down. Both sheets are somewhat yellowed and with pale foxing throughout. The watercolour with Trajan's column has a very tiny nick to the surface near the lower left corner. The sheet with the church has the remains of a light vertical fold at the centre and an area of slight staining to the left of the upper edge. The watercolour is still relatively strong. Sold in (slightly tired) 19th Century wooden gilded frames.

Catalogue Note
Although there are differences between the drawing and the present façade of Sta. Pudenziana (which was altered in the late 19th Century by Cardinal Luciano Bonaparte), the campanile seems to be correct and the location is that given on the old label.
