According to Ertz's provenance, the Spanish Royal Collection's inventory number was polished off when the painting was cleaned.
Ertz dates this 1610 in relation to his 216 to which is has no relation at all. It is however clearly related to a drawing that Winner has dated 1619, so we will go along with that. The drawing is in Brussels, MdBA, #484: Winner 1961, p.210, fig.19.
