Xanto used two prints for the decoration of this tondino. The figure of Marsyas appears to have been derived (in reverse) from the figure of a wounded soldier beneath a horse in Marco Dente's 'Battle Scene' engraving after Raphael or Giulio Romano.1 Apollo is derived from Apollo in Marcantonio Raimondi's engraving 'Parnassus', and Cupid is derived (in reverse) from the same print (see p. 67).

1. An almost identical figure occurs on a number of pieces by Xanto including the tondino in the Wallace Collection (C88), see J.V.G. Mallet, Exhibition Catalogue, Xanto, Pottery-painter, Poet, Man of the Renaissance, Wallace Collection, London, 2007, p. 124.
