Note

The print forms part of Lord Fitzwilliam's arrangement of prints by Della Bella from a series of 'Griffonnements' (scribbles or rough sketches) in one of his two albums devoted to the artist. The print is similar in execution to the others, but it is trimmed within the platemark removing any lettering, and does not appear in Vesme's catalogue raisonne ( or Massar's updated one).
