This picture was in the prodigious collection assembled by Robert Holford and lived in his Park Lane mansion, Dorchester House. Like two of his wife's brothers-in-law, the Earls of Crawford and Wemyss, Holford had wide-ranging tastes. Robert Benson's statement that the painting had been in the collection of the Duke of Lucca is likely to have been reliable (loc. cit.). Evidently acquired as by Fra Bartolommeo, it was regarded by Bernard Berenson in 1909 as partly by the artist (loc. cit.), but was omitted from subsequent editions of the lists: Borenius considered it a copy of the ex-Passerini picture, itself dependent on other compositions (loc. cit.). Allowing for its condition, Chris Fischer, who inspected the painting firsthand in 2025, considers that it was probably executed by Mariotto Albertinelli (1474-1515) to Fra Bartolommeo's design in his workshop. Another version, given by Everett Fahy to the circle of Fra Bartolommeo, formerly at the Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, Virginia, was sold by Sotheby's, New York, 5 June 2008, lot 20.
