One of many copies of this composition, most obviously including a version in Munich, Ertz #260. There is a drawing by Rottenhammer related to this composition in Prague, which seems much related to his experiences in Venice, especially the work of Tintoretto. Drawing illustrated in Borggrefe et al, p. 174. The Brake/Prague exhibition catalogue llisted ten copies, of varying dimensions, by Rottenhammer's studio and later followers; pp. 124-6.
Another version of this work was sold by Christie's Paris on 23 June 2010: oil on panel, 33 x 48.
