Note

Appears to have been retouched by Rubens. Jaffé considered the underlying drawing to be Italian [circle of Baccio Bandinelli]; Royalton-Kish considered the drawing to be from Rubens' studio, perhaps by Jan Boeckhorst or Gasper de Crasyer, corrected by Rubens. Jeremy Wood considers this to by Passarotti.
