Mythological subjects are relatively rare in Bol's oeuvre: Franz lists ten drawings, six prints and two paintings (H.G. Franz, Hans Bol als Landschaftszeichner, Jahrbuch des Kunsthistorischen Instituts der Universität Graz, 1965, p. 21 ff.). A drawing of the same subject, but in bodycolour, signed and dated 1589 was sold at Sotheby's, London, 2 July 1990, lot 30, illustrated in colour
