Azara also commissioned Domenico Cunego to engrave the portrait in burin and drypoint in 1781 from a drawing by Francisco Javier Ramos, a Spanish artist who had studied with Mengs. It was also engraved in 1784 by Jacopo Bossi, again in Rome, for inclusion in an Italian translation of Johann Joachim Winckelmann's History of the Art of Antiquity dedicated to Azara by Winckelmann himself. The painting remained in the subject's family after his death and between 1928 and 1976 they loaned it to the Museum of Fine Arts of Zaragoza.[1][2][3]
