In the upper left corner of the portrait the coat of arms
of the Dousa-dynasty is engraved. Engraved by Philips
Galle, verses by Janus Dousa. This portrait shows a some­
what older Dousa than the earlier engraving from 1568,
the verses,however, are still the same. In turn,this engrav­
ing was copied in reverse by Galle for his 1572-series of
portraits (see above) with new verses by Benito Arias
Montane. A reduced version (state II, without the verses)
of this portrait was included in Dousa s Nova Poemata
(Dousa 1575).
