The drawing is made after the painting now given to Veronese's workshop at the Kunsthistorishes Museum, Vienna (inv. GG 1515: see T. Pignatti and F. Pedrocco, Veronese, Milan, 1995, II, no. A93, ill.). Once in the collection of Leopold Wilhelm of Austria in Brussels,
the painting was included in several painted views of the archduke's celebrated gallery as one of its many masterpieces (see E. Vegelin van Claerbergen, ed., David Teniers and the Theatre of Painting, exhib. cat., London, Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery, Somerset House, 2006-2007, passim). It was also reproduced in print (in reverse) by the printmaker Jan van Troyen (circa 1610-circa 1671 or later) in David Teniers' Theatrum pictorium, first published in the 1660s (see ibid.). It is possible that the drawing should be attributed to him.
