- A study for the print by Aegidius Sadeler from the series 'Vestigi della Antichita di Roma' dated 1606 (Hollstein 151-201; wanting in BM), for another print study see also SL,5236.50. Made around 1604, they are not drawn from life in Italy and must be based on the sketches from his Italian travels between 1589 and 1596.
