Acquired by the present owner from the above.

Maria Clelia Galassi confirmed the attribution to Carlone in a letter dated July 22, 1994, observing that the work was possibly a preparatory drawing for the altarpiece of the Chiesa di Gesù e Maria in Genoa, which was destroyed in the early 19th century. Carmen Bombach of The Metropolitan Museum of Art agreed; Bombach examined the work in person in January of 1996, and in a letter dated May 13, 1996, further confirmed the attribution and its likely status as a squared modello for the lost Genoese altarpiece.
