Curator's comments
Technical similarities with the portrait of the Melchior de Gillier (see 1864,1114.) and a print annotated with the date 1652 in Mariette's collection suggest the plate was engraved around the same date as the portrait of Marie's husband, c.1652. Another impression, see 1891,0511.183.
