介绍（中）	乍一看，这个巨大而复杂的扇形设计，中间有一个半圆边缘，令人啼笑皆非。最近发现，事实上，这是一种迷人的、极其罕见的视觉变形中虚拟运动的表现。这幅图像的无失真视觉来源是亨德里克·高尔齐乌斯（Hendrick Goltzius）的《罗马英雄》（The Roman Heroes）系列雕刻作品《提图斯·曼利乌斯》（Titus Manlius）（参见大都会艺术博物馆（Metropolitan Museum of Art）第49.97.694号和第51.501.39号中的两幅作品）。在某些段落中，钢笔和墨水的轮廓是紧张不安的，这表明艺术家在重新思考原作，并在绘制扭曲的设计时进行了仔细的工作。他几乎可以肯定地依靠镜子中的反射作为创建视觉错觉的捷径，而不是根据透视投影的几何构造每一条线。相对于钢笔和墨水的最终轮廓，用铅点或灰黑色粉笔绘制的初步草图的变化数量表明，这是一幅极具创意的绘画。
介绍（英）	At plain sight, this large, complex design of fan-shaped form, with a semicircular edge at center, is teasingly indecipherable. Recently discovered, it is in fact a fascinating and extremely rare representation of a virtuosic exercise in catoptric anamorphosis. The undistorted visual source for the image is Titus Manlius, an engraving from the series The Roman Heroes by Hendrick Goltzius (see the two impressions in the Metropolitan Museum of Art nos. 49.97.694 and 51.501.39). The present drawing is modeled in a luminous pictorial technique with brush and washes on a single, very large sheet of thick laid paper. The pen-and-ink outlines are, in some passages, jittery, indicating that the artist was rethinking the original and working carefully as he drew the distorted design. He almost certainly relied on a reflection in a mirror as a shortcut to create the optical illusion, rather than constructing every line according to the geometry of a perspectival projection. The number of changes in the preliminary underdrawing in leadpoint or grayish black chalk, with respect to the final outlines in pen and ink, show this to have been a profoundly creative drawing.
