An autograph version of Trevisani's Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist is in the Tambou Regional Museum, Russia. Both these paintings are close in scale, format and style to the Madonna and Sleeping Christ Child of circa 1710 at Burghley, Northamptonshire and to the Holy Family of circa 1710-15 in the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, Munich (F. DiFederico, Francesco Trevisani, Washington, 1977, figs 50-1).
