Hooft (‘Nederlandsche Historien …’, published 1703-1704.), P.C. Bor (‘Oorsprongk, begin, en vervolgh der Nederlandsche oorlogen’, published in 1680.)or Jean Le Clerc. This print originates from: ‘Histoire des Provinces-Unies des Pays Bas…’, or ‘Geschiedenissen der Vereenigde Nederlanden…’ by Jean Le Clerc, 1723-1728 or 1730.
