Trained by his father Jacopo, Giovanni began his career by producing numerous small devotional works and this painting may date from the late 1460s to early 1470s. However, the gold ground dates from the early twentieth century and the figures may originally have been placed against a curtain or a landscape; the painting has been heavily restored.
