An engraving reproducing the composition of a painting now in the Galleria Palatina, Palazzo Pitti, Florence (inv. Pal. no. 247). Lettered with the title and production details. Probably published in Imperiale e reale Galleria di Firenze (1841-1846).
The authorship of the painting has been a matter of ongoing debate. Formerly attributed to Raphael, it has been ascribed to Giulio Romano for much of the twentieth century and is now generally though that it may be the work of G.F. Penni (see Bibliographic References).Provenance
Added to the Prince Consort's Raphael Collection (c.1853-76)
