It is thought to be a studio version of the autograph work now in Houston^[3][4] Their composition is very similar to that of two other 1624 works now in the Wellington Collection at Apsley House in London^[5][6] and the Menil Collection. They all show the influence of Pietro Novelli, then also in the city.^[7]
