Provenance:
Luigi Maggiulli (1828-1914, according to an inscription on the reverse)
The present composition is related to a modello by Corrado Giaquinto, Liborio Riccio's master, made in preparation for the fresco of the Choir in the Church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, Rome, which has now disappeared.
Another similar composition with few differences, by Corrado Giaquinto, is conserved at the Musée Magnin, Dijon (1938 E 736).
