Etching, circa 1630-33. 107x171 mm; 4 1/4x7 inches. First state (of 4). Fleur-de-lys in a crowned circle watermark (Mannocci 15, which he dates to Rome, early 1600s, and cites for first state impressions of this subject). Ex-collection Henry Foster Sewall (Lugt 1309, verso); Harvey D. Parker (Lugt 1870, verso); and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (Lugt 1870, verso).
