The setting and costume are related to one of Farinelli's favorite roles, that of Epitide in Zeno's libretto Merope (1711). Farinelli sang the role three times to music by different composers including his brother Riccardo Broschi. It has been suggested that this picture may be the portrait which once hung in the armoury of his villa in Bologna and which is listed in his will.
