Watermark: none.
No engraving known. Presumably a copy after a lost drawing. The original design by De Vos was engraved, in reverse, by Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617) as one of a series of twelve martyrdoms of the Apostles.
Folio 19 from an album by de Vos with drawings illustrating the Life of David and Subjects from the New Testament. Also see record for album as a whole.
Inscribed at lower left, in brown ink, "M.D. VOS: F." On gray mount in Fairfax Murray's hand, in pencil, "copy".
