"After a drawing previously attributed to Perino del Vaga, and now thought to be by Piero Bonnacorsi, in the Musée du Louvre, Paris. The drawing was one of six designs intended to be engraved on crystal for the Casetta Farnese, currently in the collection of the Museo di Capodimonte, Naples. Another of the designs [directly below] was engraved by Enea Vico in 1543."

Simone Cantarini after Guido Reni Bacchus and Ariadne ca. 1640-48 drawing Royal Collection, Great Britain |
"A drawing of Bacchus standing to the left, his hand to his chest. Ariadne seated to the right in an attitude of surprise. The figures are essentially copied from Guido Reni's larger composition of the same subject, painted 1637-40 for Queen Henrietta Maria, destroyed in 1650 [by Puritan usurpers], but known through copies and engravings."

Gian Battista Bolognini after Guido Reni Bacchus with his companions discovering Ariadne on the Island of Naxos ca. 1650-80 etching Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York |
"Three joined sheets with impressions from three plates. After a painting by Guido Reni made for the Queen of England (according to Barsch)." In other words, this etching is a copy of the complete Reni painting destroyed in 1650 (though a copy possibly made from an earlier copy rather than from the original), of which the Cantarini drawing above is a modified detail.
