Note du spécialiste

The highly-finished preparatory drawing by Goltzius, of very similar size, from the collection of the Earls of Northwick and other private collections of the 20th century, was sold by Christie's, Amsterdam, in 1984. It is now at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles (inv. no. 84.GG.810.1).
