Notes
  • The drawing is reproduced by:
    • Blunt 1953, plate 155a
    • Laprade 1960, Plate VI 2b (asserts François d'Orbay is the author)
    • Tadgell 1980, fig. 66
    • Pérouse de Montclos 1989, fig. 288
    • Berger 1993, fig. 24
    • Berger 1994, fig. 18
    • Gargiani 1998, fig. 166
    • Blunt & Beresford 1999, fig. 270
    • Petzet 2000, fig. 62
  • Blunt 1953, Laprade 1960, Berger 1993 & 1994, Feldmann 1996, Petzet 2000, and Neumann 2013 give 1664 for the date of completion, although two (Blunt and Petzet) say the evidence is circumstantial and not certain. Pérouse de Montclos gives "around 1662–1663" for creation. Tadgell 1980 gives 1667 or 1668. He is supported by Gargiani 1998 and partly by Beresford 1999, who gives "c. 1668?".
