At one time this picture was attributed to Cristofano Allori. This attribution has been confirmed by an inscription on an etching made from the Guercino original in 1783 by Francesco Rosaspina (1762-1841); There it is also indicated that the picture belonged to Ranuzzi.

Provenance: held in the collection of Senator Girolamo Ranuzzi (Bologna) in the 17th and 18th centuries; acquired for the Hermitage from the collection of Counts Vorontsov-Dashkov (Petrograd) in 1920; in the Pushkin Museum since 1924.
