The painting is accompained by a written expertise of Professor Eduard A. Safarik (9 November 2009).sent to Herbert R. Spatschek, at the time the painting's owner.
The artwork is the subject of a new of a current critical study by Michele Danieli. Like Safarik, the art historian is inclined to date the work around 1612-1613; around the end of the painter's sojourn in
Rome.
