A photograph of a drawing currently in the Szépmüvészeti Múzeum, Budapest (inv. no.F(1898)137).

Another copy survives in the Louvre (inv. no.3974).
J.A. Gere suggested that the photographed drawing may be the work of Giovanni Battista Franco, called Il Semolei (signed undated note on mount).Provenance
