Sometimes identified as the 'Master of the Santo Spirito Sacra Conversazione' after an altarpiece in the church of Santo Spirito in Florence, depicting the Madonna and Child enthroned, Tommaso was an accomplished follower of Lorenzo di Credi, working either in his close circle or in his workshop itself, where he may have trained. Lorenzo’s influence is visible throughout the composition, from the expansive landscape to the figures' expressions and facial types. These are particularly comparable to those in a tondo from the Louvre collection (inv. M.I. 600), on long-term loan to the Musée du Petit Palais, Avignon, which had historically been attributed to Lorenzo di Credi before Everett Fahy associated it with Tommaso. Everett Fahy confirmed the attribution of the present work to Tommaso on the basis of first-hand inspection at the time of its previous appearance at auction in 2008.
