This is not the same print as P13589 and P13590. It is deceptively similar in most respects to P13590, except that it lacks the inscription "Raph: Morghen sculp:", and the ribbon and button above the medallion are different. Since the ribbon and button are different, it would seem that this plate was not engraved with the idea of deception, and it is possible that it is also by Morghen, or perhaps by a pupil.
