- Stains and old vertical fold suggest that this sheet was once glued to an album guard. There is a pen and brown ink border just inside the edge of the sheet. It is likely that the sheet was cut down at some point, because the drawing is cut off at the r. edge, and the border breaks at the c.l. and c.r. where the design goes right to the edge of the sheet.

signed and inscribed - by the draughtsman, in pen and brown ink, l.l.: "P. Bracci Deli.1719"; and t.: with title numbered - by an unknown hand, in pen and brown ink over graphite, l.l.: "3" numbered - by an unknown hand, in graphite, u.l.: "8"; and verso, l.r.: "8"
