Omnium creaturarum increatus sator. Joannes Bapt. Piazzetta pinxit. Marcus Pitteri sculpsit.

Notes

One of sixteen prints after "Fifteen heads of the most renowned drawings of Giambattista Piazzetta" and one of Saint Paul. In an official application of 1742 the engraver Marco Pitteri referred to them as "Quindici teste delli più rinomati dissegni di Giambatta Piazzetta". In response the Venetian Senate stipulated "che l'incisione stessa sia di sacre imagini' --Halwas, loc. cit. The prints of the twelve Apostles bear a serial number in Roman numerals after the engraver's name; the four prints of God, Christ the Redeemer, the Virgin, and Saint Paul bear no number
