For a full account of the history and historiography of this picture see the entry by Chiara Battezzati in Giovanni Agosti and Jacopo Stoppa, eds, Bernardino Luini e i suoi figli, exh. cat., Palazzo Reale, Milan, 10 April–13 July 2014, no. 27, pp. 168–171. It is variously dated by scholars to the mid–late 1510s or the mid-1520s. If the later date is correct then it is tempting to think that it might be a response to the work of Correggio in its tender chiaroscuro and trellis of roses: perhaps both artists were looking at Mantegna.
