After a painted portrait by Marcello Venusti, which in turn was after an original portrait by Jacopino del Conte, both of which were painted in circa 1545. The engraving, however, seems to date to after Michelangelo's death in 1564. The first state of this print appears to have been printed on Northern paper (identified by the watermarks), and later on Italian paper, suggesting that the plate was transferred to Italy, where it eventually came into the hands of the de Rossi, the 17th-c Roman publishing family. The print may have been intended as a frontispiece to Ghisi's prints after the Last Judgment, copied in the 1560s, also after drawings by Venusti which were made in the early 1540s.
