The son of Domenico Piola, Anton Maria trained in the large family workshop known as Casa Piola alongside his brothers. Sanguineti situates the present lot in a group of intimate devotional compositions with similar themes, including the Allegory of charity in the Pinacoteca Brera, Milan, and dates it to the 1690s.
