Onorio Marinari was the best pupil and cousin of Carlo Dolci, to whom this painting was formerly attributed. Dolci, the most important Florentine painter of the 17th century, conceived several versions of this intimate, melancholy portrayal of the Virgin, intended for private devotion in a domestic setting. The composition's popularity is suggested by numerous surviving replicas and reinterpretations--of which this painting is one--executed by Dolci's followers.
