There is another version of this composition, virtually identical in size, in the Art Institute of Chicago. Technical evidence from X-ray images suggests that both paintings were made in the same workshop by the same artist from the same full-scale preparatory drawing at probably the same time. The figures have a similar appearance to those in works by Pontormo, with oval faces, deep-set round dark eyes and curly red hair. However, it is unlikely that Pontormo himself painted these panels; they were probably produced by an artist in his workshop or a follower of his style.
