Etching by Van Dyck and engraving by Lucas Vorsterman. A painting by Titian listed in the Borghese Collection in 1693 may have been the source for this print, however the painting is no longer known, and according to scolars, may have been a copy or forgery which Van Dyck mistook for an original by Titian.
