- Curator's comments
- For comment see S.7466. This engraving is attributed by Henkel to Magdalena de Passe but in Hollstein is not specifically mentioned as by Magdalena.
NB The register number stamped on the print is a duplicate (the number also belongs to a print by Hollar). I have therefore added an asterisk to the number.
