Bartsch describes two variants of this print, one with a shadow behind the woman's back, and one without. This impression has the shadow, but the work behind Raphael's back resembles that of the impression without the shadow illustrated in The Illustrated Bartsch, rather than that of the impression with the shadow.
ProvenanceW.G. Russell Allen, Boston (1882-1955); his bequest to the MFA September 23, 1964
