    This sheet was once part of a little album now in the museum Boymans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the drawings in which may be partly by Benozzo, partly by his pupils. In Nationalmuseum there are three more sheets originating from this album, nos. 1027, 1041 and 1061 [Bjurström, It. Drawings, cat. no. 1059 (recto)]
