Inscription
lower left, in image, in plate: HG / 1593; lower left, numbered in image, in plate: 6; below image, in plate: Praecursor Domini lactantis ab ubere matris / Blanditur puero puer, et colludit amice, / Quem praecognovit aliens utero abditus, hunc et / Indice monstravit digito crescentibus annis. (The herald of the Lord, who is suckled at his mother's breast, like a child, strokes the child and plays sweetly with him; the baby whom he recognized, leaping up, while he was still in his mother's womb, he also pointed to with his finger when they were a little older.)
