Note
There is an engraving of the same subject by Jacques Granthomme (b. 1560?). Yet, the Cool engraving shows the same ornamentation at the base of the crown of the saint as the feather mosaic (a sequence of circles, diamonds, and rectangles). The Granthomme engraving shows instead an ornamentation based on a sequence of dot foursomes and single rectangles.
