Inscriptions
On the reverse there is a paper label on the lower section of the frame indicating that the work is a part of the collection of the Duke of Leuchtenberg. The printed text reads as follows: "Herzoglich Leuchtenberg/ Majorats Fideicommiss/ Matrikel II 3/ inventar N0. 148/ 148" 8the number is written in Indian ink) and there is another inscription in Indian ink: "2 Gent. Bellini".
Notes
In the collection of the Duke of Leuchtenberg this was considered to be a work by Gentile and Giovanni Bellini but later - based on an attribution by Waagen - one by Vincenzo Catena. The composition can be traced back to an original painted by Giovanni Bellini c. 1490 but now lost. There were many subsequent versions of the work, which vary slightly from each other. The variant from the collection of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts is one of the finest as regards its level of execution.
