拍品專文

As Catherine Jenkins has observed, Enea Vico's engraving is in fact not based on Primaticcio's original design, but on the etching by the Master of the Story of Cadmus (active around 1540 at Fontainebleau), the small variations from Primaticcio's composition it adopts. (See Jenkins MSC 6, ibid.)
We are grateful to Catherine Jenkins, London, for her help in cataloguing this lot.
