The subject of this print was developed by Benito Arias Montano, a Spanish editor that supervised the edition of the"Biblia Regia" by Plantin in 1572; Montano was behind the edition of this Bible and he might have been the inventor of this print (see Hollstein, vol. LXX, The Wierix family, book illustrations, book 1, n° 1); the attribution to Huys is based on the other prints of the set signed by him (see BA, A.22.8 ( Exemplar, fig. 3)).
