This print is closely copied from Fantuzzi’s etching (Fig.E.73), with the landscape omitted as well as the small scene above it and the F and R below the lateral figures.  It is related to the framing of the Twins of Catania.  It may be related to Du Cerceau’s Grand Cartouche, Second Set, 10 (E.56,8).
