The attribution to Palma il Vecchio was first suggested by Berenson in 1916 (loc. cit.). However, he believed that Christ and the Samarian were by Palma and that Vincenzo Catena completed the picture. Robertson, and more recently Rylands in his monograph on Palma il Vecchio, exclude the possibility of Catena having finished the painting. Rylands (loc. cit.), on the basis of a photograph, catalogues the picture therefore as 'attributed to Palma il Vecchio'.
