- Curator's comments
- One of a group of prints by Dalton and various other engravers, after drawings made by Dalton from antique statues which he saw in Rome, published in the 1740s; some bear dedications from Dalton, which suggests that he was involved in the publication. Boydell published a set of twenty plates after Dalton's drawings, in 1770.
