In the Sala dei Venti in Palazzo Te, Giulio Romano painted the scene of different men in the prison. An engraving was produced after the drawing by Romano, that was previously attributed to Giorgio Ghisi, while at the moment it is attributed to Giovanni Battista Scultori. This etching is a reverse of the engraving, similar to one in Metropolitan Museum (24.63.1107)
