A reduced autograph replica, with minor variations, of the artist's altarpiece executed for the Benedictine abbey of S. Pietro at Perugia and now in the Musée Massey at Tarbes (exhibited Paris, Grand Palais, and Milan, Palazzo Reale, Seicento. Le siècle de Caravage dans les collections françaises, 1988-9, no.141; and Sassoferrato, Giovan Battista Salvi "Il Sassoferrato", 1990, no.42). Another reduced variant, measuring 66 x 50cm., also with the crown of twelve stars signifying the Immaculate Conception rather than the Assumption, is on deposit from the Brera at the Museo di Sassoferrato (illustrated in the Paris exhibition catalogue, p.351)
