A facsimile etching of a drawing now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no.WA1846.271); reproduced in reverse. The poor state of the drawing has caused difficulties as to establish its authorship. The subject matter has also been a matter of dispute. Published in B. Picart, Impostures Innocentes, Amsterdam 1734, plate 3. A copy of Picart's volume can be found at RCIN 809004.
