The present work is highly reminiscent of the style of Perino del Vaga, who worked in Genoa from 1527 until 1530. Andrea and Ottavio Semino were among the most active followers of the stylistic innovations produced by Perino during his Genoese period. The two brothers, sons of Antonio who was also a painter (c.1485-1555), often collaborated on the same decorative projects and their styles are, at times, easily confused.
