Attributed in some catalogues to Claude Lefèbvre (1632-1675), on the ground that the preface to the series to which this print belongs is signed "Le Febvre sculpsit". However, Préaud (loc. cit.) identifies this engraver as the lettering-engraver Toussaint Lefebvre (active 1660-1681). The engraver's exemplar was probably one of the prints by Carlo Cesio in the series Galeria nel Palazzo Farnese in Roma.del Sereniss. Duca di Parma etc. dipinta da Annibale Carracci intagliata da Carlo Cesio, produced in Rome in 1657 (Adam Bartsch, Le peintre graveur, Vienna 1821, vol. XXI, p. 110, no. 33)
