LITERATURE: Kusenberg, 1931, 166, as related to an etching by Fantuzzi in the style of Rosso and perhaps after a lost decoration at Fontainebleau.

This etching is related to Fantuzzi’s etching (Fig.E.82) that may be derived from a lost drawing by Rosso for his lost decoration of the Small Gallery at Fontainebleau.
