The attribution to Bartolomeo di David, a Sienese artist whose works drew inspiration from both Sodoma and Beccafumi, was first suggested by Dr. Everett Fahy. Given its distinctive shape with an arched top and rectangular bottom, this panel was probably placed at either ends of a cataletto, or funeral bier.
