Works represented in museum collections include 15 unique prints held by the National Gallery of Art. These include notable architectural studies such as Borghese Palace and Gardens, Balpoggio, Villa of Duke di Ceri, and multiple depictions of the Capitoline, Rome.

Given the age of the original works, these images are generally considered public domain and are often available today as high-quality prints, allowing for broad access to their detailed architectural documentation. This legacy ensures that their detailed views remain accessible as downloadable artwork for scholars and enthusiasts globally.
