Notes This print is one of several depicting members of the Orsini family that entered the BM in 1873. Some were certainly engraved by Nicolò Nelli and used as illustrations for Francesco Sansovino's "De gli huomini illustri della casa Orsina" (Venice: Fratelli Stagnini, 1565), where they appeared within decorative strapwork frames. However, in the very worn BM impressions lettering identifying the sitters has been added and these frames have been removed, either by masking the plates or failing to print the frame where a separate plate was used. For these reasons it is unclear which publication the impressions in the BM were taken from.
