Bartsch describes only this signed state. However, the print is a later state from an already worn plate, already exhibiting signs of cracking and oxidation. For a very early, possibly first, state see 27.78.1(22); for a later state to the latter, possibly the third and still before the signature, see The Metropolitan Museum Mariette Album (folio 30). Due to the cracking along the bottom, the plate appears to have been cut, and impressions kept being pullef from it. For an impression from the cut plate, showing further signs of cracking and oxidation in the upper right, see 26.70.3(172). The composition is related to a drawing in the Uffizi, Florence (Richardson no. 137)
