Explore the History of this artwork.
The painting was known to be in the collection of Pietro Gentile until 1640–1641, hanging in Palazzo Gentile in Genoa alongside her Lucretia. It remained in the Gentile family collection until the early 19th century, at which point it is recorded in the Adorno collection. It later appeared in the Morandotti collection in 1971, from which it was lent to the Gentileschi exhibition in 2001. Extensive restoration work was undertaken in during 1967–1978, revealing a great depth of color and skill in rendering. Conservators also removed a large strip of canvas from the top of the painting, which was assessed as being a later addition. In April 2004, it was acquired by the Gerolamo Etro collection in Milan.
