This composition derives from Andrea del Sarto's fresco in the Porta a Pinti, one of the city gates of Florence destroyed in 1865 during the creation of the Viale di Circonvallazione, a series of boulevards inspired by Paris. Although the original fresco is lost, its existence is known through the writings of Giorgio Vasari and the numerous copies painted of it.
