Cette scène est tirée d'une gravure de Bartolomeo Pinelli, Lavatrici di Tivoli, réalisée vers 1815 et faisant partie d'une série de dessins représentant des scènes paysannes de l'Italie au début du XIXe siècle, intitulée Costumi Pittoreschi. Pour une autre tabatière avec un panneau en micromosaïque représentant cette-fois des paysans jouant aux boules, voir J.H. Gabriel, The Gilbert Collection, Micromosaics, 2000, fig. 127.
