A study for the same group seen from behind on an horizontal format is in a private collection, New York. Another composition with a similar group of ridders to the right appears in a larger drawing in a private collection in Paris, F. Mosby, Alexandre Gabriel Decamps, 1803-1860, New York, 1977, pl. 141.
