In her catalogue entry for the work, Boccazzi suggests a dating of the first half of the 1750s and draws comparison with two small works on paper, now in a private collection, Lombardy (see Boccazzi, ibid, p. 135, cat. nos 85 and 86). She also notes that this is the only example of an Immaculate Conception by the artist.
