This drawing probably originates from a small album containing 38 depictions of this subject by Giovanni Domenico. Formerly in the Bordes collection, it was dismembered between 1936 and 1941. James Byam Shaw related the choice of the theme to the decoration of the Tiepolo villa at Zianigo and suggested that the series was drawn late in the artist's career (J. Byam Shaw, The Drawings of Domenico Tiepolo, London, 1962, p. 38).
