The present composition derives from a Botticelli prototype that is known from a studio production, rectangular in format, in the Galleria Colonna, Rome. In that painting, the Madonna is standing, head tilted forward, and the Child is turned outward, blessing. The horizontal lines of the architecture and window opening onto a landscape are also repeated here but softened by the circular format.
The present work and another tondo (Chaalis, Musée Jacquemart-André) are considered to be from the studio of Botticelli.
