While no painting by Boscoli related to the present drawing is recorded, a sheet in the Albertina, Vienna, must belong to the same series (inv. 674; see V. Birke and J. Kertész, Die italienischen Zeichnungen der Albertina, Vienna, Cologne and Weimar, 1992, p. 362, ill.). Of the same dimensions and also inscribed in a lunette, the Vienna drawing represents Judith entering the tent of Holofernes, a scene following that depicted in the present work, as recounted in the Book of Judith, chapter 10. Another version of this composition, of lesser quality, is in the Princeton University Art Museum (x1974-15).
