This etching closely copies Fantuzzi’s etching (Fig.E.82), in the same direction, that may be derived from a lost drawing by Rosso for his lost decoration of the Small Gallery at Fontainebleau (L.41).  However, the F at the bottom is reversed in Du Cerceau’s etching, and there are other small additions and variations, such as the head above that F.  It is also related to Du Cerceau’s Grand Cartouche, Second Set, 5 (E.56,5).
