Marzia Faietti includes this print among those after designs by Amico Aspertini and believes the engraver to be Agostino Veneziano on the basis of Bartsch and De Marolle, and on her finding Agostino's monogram on impressions in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris (Eb 6a. res.) and in Rome Inv. G.N.S. Inv F.C. 31504). See M. Faietti in M. Faietti and D. Scaglietti, 'Amico Aspertini', Modena 1995, IV.3, pp. 332-3.
