See note to the previous lot.  In contrast to the drawing of Venus, however, this depiction of Jupiter has links with the images of the god in both the title page and the second of the individual representations of the planets.In the latter print, the top half of the figure’s body (with the exception of the right arm) is essentially as it is seen in the drawing, but in reverse, but the placement of the legs is more similar to that seen in the engraved  title-page.  The positioning of the feet, and of the eagle, are different in all three versions.  1.  The New Hollstein: Dutch and Flemish etchings, engravings and woodcuts 1450-1700.
