The present picture was first published by Professor Richard Offner in 1923-4 as the work of Jacopo del Casentino and in 1927 he proposed a dating 'about midway between Jacopo's earlier and later works'. However, in 1930 in his volume of the corpus devoted to works attributed to the artist, he classified it as a shop production, noting that it was seriously obscured by overpaint. The painting was cleaned before 1966 and the attribution to Jacopo del Casentino reaffirmed in 1987 by Professor Miklós Boskovits in his revised edition of the corpus volume.

Variants in the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Geneva, and formerly in the Charles Loeser Collection, Florence, also relegated to the workshop by Offner in 1930, have likewise been restored to Jacopo after the removal of overpaint (Boskovits, op. cit., p.506, pl.CCXXV, and p.510, pl.CCXXVII). A further variant published by Boskovits (ibid., p.592, add. pl.XX) was not known to Offner
