The painting was commissioned by Lelio Pasqualini (1549-1611), a native of Bologna then resident in Rome, where he was a canon at Santa Maria Maggiore. Its unusual composition may be linked to Pasqualini's antiquarian interests - he owned one of the most notable collections of the time.

This oil on canvas painting is housed in the Hermitage in St Petersburg.
