The prime version of this painting is in the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Narbonne.1 We are grateful to Prof. Nicola Spinosa for confirming the attribution of the present painting based on photographs. Gianluca Forgione, also on the basis of photographs, believes the painting to be a copy after the version in Narbonne.
