This print was edited by Hoefnaegel together with The Shipwreck after C. Cort (Holl. 236) and two etchings after P. Brueghel the Elder, River Landscape with the Rape of Psyche by Mercury and River Landscape with the Fall of Icarus (Bast., Holl. 1-2). Please see lot 20 for one of the companion pieces after P. Brueghel.
