The artist, Jean Le Clerc, is identified by the provided catalogue data. However, the accompanying artist authority record for "Jean Le Clerc" details a Genevan theologian and biblical scholar (1657–1736). This individual's birth and death dates (1657-1736) do not align with the artwork's creation date of 1619, indicating a potential discrepancy in artist identification or a separate artist with the same name.
