This is possibly the bozzetto recorded by Francesco Colonna di Stigliano in 1895 in the inventory of the collection of his family ('Inventario dei quadri di Casa Colonna fatto da Luca Giordano', Napoli Nobilissima, V, 1895, p. 30). It relates to a picture of the same subject in the Escorial, Madrid (F. Bologna, loc. cit.). A preparatory drawing for that picture is in the Museo di San Martino, Naples (no. 20881, F. Bologna, op. cit., p. 270).
