The engraving is one of these famous historical derivative works, dated 1571 (only 4 years after Cort's original) and executed masterfully in Antwerp by the Flemish engraver Johannes Wierix (who signed precisely with the monogram IHW visible on the cartouche at the bottom). Wierix reproduced Cort's composition, modifying the landscape background and inserting the explicit reference to the Gospel of Mark at the top.
