- Stylistically related with 1909,0109.7 (and with drawing in Collection Frits Lugt). Probably made during Scorel's travels to Italy and the Holy Land between 1520 and 1524.
See BM, Catalogue of MSS. Maps, III (1861), p.278. From an album mainly containing drawings of Persian and near Eastern subjects by Hofstede van Essen and formerly attributed to that artist.
