Compass and set squares added to the wall beside the window. Shading added to Coppenol's hands, the quill pen, the candle, and the side of the baldacchino. Two lines added to Coppenol's cravat. The circular disk in the right background is worked over and darkened. (The darkening of the boy's left hand is due to inking and not to reworking - cf. I and III.) (White and Boon)
