Note
There are close engravings of this subject, in the same direction, by Aubert, Ragot, Galle, and two unidentified engravers at the Teylers Museum. All of these versions have the woman at the center of the composition bare-breasted, while the Gobert has her chest covered (as in this painting). This painting is furthermore in the opposite direction as the Bolswert.
