- Curator's comments
- This is a later edition of a plate formerly published by Mariette (for impressions see R,6.103 and T,15.26). In the earlier state published by Mariette there is a six-lines text lettered in the cartouche under the portrait, which on the state published in "L'Europe Illustre" has been replaced with a three-lines text.
