Abstract This article deals with the large collection of albums with drawings owned by Pier Leone Ghezzi (1674-1755) and the function these had for the artist. Were they, as often supposed, material that served him in his artistic practice, or were they related to his social position as artist working for the highest echelons in Roman society?
