Note: There are other close versions of this plate. Aside from the original by Wierix, there is one by Hendrick van Schoel (1590-1627) and, possibly, another one engraved by Jean Matheus (active between 1614 and 1625) and published in Paris by Jean Messager (1610-1654). I have not seen the latter plate.
