- This statue, the so-called 'Togatus, Caninus' is now in a niche of the Arcade du Nord on from the Louvre in Paris. This is a Roman original except that the hands are modern; the head is antique. The etching, which is not in reverse, shows that in the seventeenth century the statue had a different head and different hands, though these can hardly have been original either. Since the etching the base has been set into a larger square one, though with the inscription still visible. The etching was made after a drawing by Jacques de Gheyn III, which was then in the possession of Wtenbogaert in Amsterdam. Neither this, nor any intermediary drawing by De Bisschop is known. The statue is not included in the list of contents and locations.
