- The drawing corresponds very closely with an undescribed engraving in the same direction, attributed to the school of Bonasone (Copertini, ii, pl.xcvii).
Popham 1967
The drawing corresponds very closely with an undescribed engraving in the same direction, attributed to the school of Bonasone (Copertini, ii, pl. xcvii), in which the composition is enclosed in an oval. The main difference from the chiaroscuro woodcut (B. xii, p. 110, 6) is in the head of the dragon.
