At the time of the 1985 sale, the present lot was sold with a photostat certificate of September 1975 from Frederick Hartt, who dated the present lot to the early or mid-1530s and suggested a possible identification with a Nativity, one cubit high, painted, according to Vasari, for the Duke of Mantua and later given to Isabella Boschetta (see F. Hartt, Giulio Romano, 1958, I, pp. 275-6).
