Autorem sztychu jest jak wynika z lacinskiego tekstu u spodu legendy jest znany grafik Tomasz Makowski.Byl on zatrudniony u Radziwillow w Nieswiezu jako komornik-listonosz, a w nielicznych wolnych chwilach zajmowal sie sztycharstwem dla swego patrona.Zaczal wykonywac ryciny prawdopodobnie ok.1603 roku podczas pobytu z Radziwillami w Braniewie.Z latami nieporadne sztychy stawaly sie bardziej profesjonalne, chociaz wybitnym artysta nigdy nie zostal a solidnym rzemieslnikiem.Wykonal on oprocz tej kluszynskiej ryciny pare tzw. herbowych ilustracji do panegirykow, mape Moskwy z 1608 roku przed jej spaleniem przez Polakow,glownym dzielem jego zycia bylo wysztychowanie slynnej "radziwillowskiej" mapy Litwy wydanej w 1613 roku.Jako ciekawostke do sztychu Kluszyna nalezy jeszcze dodac ze Makowski wykonal go na podstawie danych lub szkicu wykonanego przez prawdopodobnego uczestnika tej bitwy lub najemnika szwedzkiego ktory przeszedl na strone polska niejakiego Jacoba Philipa.
