Another painting with the same subject is known and documented in the Zeri Photo Library (inv. 174280, envelope 650, card 7408). Both probably derive from a prototype by Giacomo Francesco Todeschini, known as Cipper, used in his workshop. The painting was relined in the twentieth century and is in excellent condition. 19th century gilded frame
