Although not listed in the renowned Bartsch catalog, which is a comprehensive record of European engraving up to the early 19th century, the piece is recognized through the cataloging efforts of Martineau, indicating its significance and the interest it holds for scholars and collectors. The absence from Bartsch's catalog may reflect the complexities of attributing works to specific artists during this period, especially for prints and engravings, which were often widely circulated without clear attribution.
