Note
There are prints of the same subject by Bonifacio Natale, Jean Leclerc, and Johann Bussemacher. The one by Leclerc inverts the direction of the composition of the painting, and the one by Natale differs from the painting in terms of the position of the angel, the orientation of the cross, and the hill on which it rests. The one by Bussemacher differs from the painting in the pose of the angel and the garments of the representation of Free Will.  Here is another photograph of the painting.
