Note: There are three other versions of the corresponding engraving. One by Johan Sadeler I, another with the address of Claes Jansz. Visscher, and a third edited by Pierre Firens. All of them are inverted relative to the painting. The Visscher engraving has tetragrams instead of figural representations of God the Father. And the painting has two peaks in front of God's hand that match only the de Leu engraving, not the Sadeler or the Firens.
