Description: Various stages in this transformation are represented in a whole series of drawings and paintings by this artist. Although the present sheed depicts the moment of change, with the men only half beasts, it is closest to an original version at Windsor of the metamorphosis as an accomplished fact. The man fleeing in the background is shown in the same position, though reversed, in the background of that drawing. The Windsor drawing is dated by A. Percy to around 1655. She mentions other interpretations of the subject: in the Uffizi, again showing the very moment of change, and a sheet in Fondation Custodia, Paris. 

Another studio version of the subject is in the British Museum's Print Room. [slut] [Bjurström, It. Drawings, cat. no. 365]
