- This is plate 2 from 246 plates of Teniers' Theatre of Paintings, for comment on the series see A,8.1.
After the painting in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, inv.no.171. The attribution is debated; while the overall design is given to Raphael, it is likely the painting was executed by his workshop (possibly Giulio Romano). See Dussler, 'Raphael: A Critical Catalogue', 1971, pages 51-52; and Jürg Meyer zur Capellen, 'Raphael: A Critical Catalogue of His Paintings', vol. II, 2005, cat. No.A15.
