A late impression from an intermediary state before the reworking of the artist's monogram described by Richardson. For a strong impression of an earlier state see The Metropolitan Museum Mariette Album (folio 13). The print was copied by Georges Reverdy [Gaspare Reverdino] (B. XV.473.14), see 27.78.1(128). According to Richardson, and Bartsch, who described the copy, the print is after a design by Parmigianino.
