- Curator's comments
- This version of Cort's engraving after Federico Zuccaro is not described by Hollstein, and its status is uncertain. It is a late XVIIIc reprint of a much earlier plate and the lettering is late XVIIIc. It may well be a late impression of one of the two plates made by Cort (Hollstein 41/42) after the plate had been cut down at the sides and heavily reworked. Or it might be a reworked state of a copy.
