In the image, top centre, in the cartouche: "Rigans montes de superioribus suis: de fructu operum tuorum satiabitur terra. Psal. CIII." It is very difficult to determine the circumstances of the commission, the portrait appearing successively as a frontispiece or illustration of at least two works published in Rome. The plate contained the inscription with the engraver's signature.
