This drawing gives a good view of the aerial residence on top of the architrave of the two western columns of the middle range. It is very similar in style to catalogue nos. 7 and 11, and exhibits the clear washes of Page’s earlier style. The figures appear slightly elongated.
In 1843 Page exhibited a view of this temple at the Royal Academy (no. 1195).
Two large later views of the temple by Page, from different vantage points and measuring 66 x 101 cm and 63 x 97 cm, were sold at Sotheby’s in 1991.
Lady Ruthven may have made a copy of this drawing, which is now in the National Gallery of Scotland.
