In the book Geschiedenis van het seksuele probleem, a book I acquired yesterday, I found this illustration[1]. The author, J.M.W. van Ussel notes that is Jupiter and Callisto by Hans von Aachen (1552 - 1615).
I tried TinEye, but I could not find any matches.
The only clue that this painting exists is found in Peter Webb's book The Erotic Arts, which says of this work that it is now lost, destroyed in Dresden in 1944, known by a copy in Berlin and a print by Caraglio (1500 - 1565).
If you look at the birth dates of both artists, what Peter Webb says is impossible.
