La présente feuille illustre le verset 6, chapitre 18, de l’Évangile selon Marc, Saint Jean-Baptiste reprochant à Hérode sa vie scandaleuse. Il s’agit d’un dessin préparatoire à une planche gravée en sens inverse par F. Roger et éditée chez Étienne Grantel (M. Paunet, Antoine Dieu [actif 1668 (?)-1727], du dessin à la gravure. L’invention de l’image au siècle de Louis XIV, Mémoire de recherche en histoire de l'art appliquée aux collections (2e année de 2e cycle), sous la direction de MM. O. Bonfait et L.-A. Prat, Paris, École du Louvre, 2017, annexe I, n° D 12, p 16-17). La pratique d'illsutrer le verso de la feuille - ici avec des études de figures -, est assez rare chez Antoine Dieu. Il existe néanmoins une large étude du Jugement des fils de Lévy, avec au verso, une étude de figure, conservée au musée des beaux-arts de Rennes (Ibid.).
