Lower left, on the late eighteenth-century mount, in pen and brown ink: Anth. Van Dyck No. 3; lower right, in graphite: 2000.108; center, in graphite: het schildery van deze tekening beston wel en op het altaar van de kerk der abdy van Everbode, dog is jammerlyk reeds in den jaaren 1642 met de zelfde afgebrand. Ook was er een apostel Johannes agter het beeld van Christus, volgens de beschryving die D. Michel aangetekend heeft. Dit gemelde schildery is noit in plaat gebragt, dus bestaat er geen ander aandenken van het zelfde dan deze schets. (The painting of this drawing did exist on the altar of the church belonging to the Abbey of Everbode. Unfortunately, it burned as early as 1642 with the church. According to D. Michel's description, the Apostle John was depicted [on the painting] behind Christ. The painting has never been engraved, so the only memento of it is this sketch.)
