The present drawing is probably related to the series of twelve engravings representing the prelates of Utrecht. The prints were engraved by Cornelis and Frederick Bloemaert between 1626 and 1649/50 after their father's designs, M. Roethlisberger, Abraham Bloemaert and his Sons, Paintings and Prints, Ghent, 1993, nos. 431-442, figs. 603-614. A drawing by Bloemaert for this series, close stylistically to the present one, was sold at Christie's, Amsterdam, 1 December 1986, lot 50, illustrated.
