Initially attributed to Pier Francesco Fiorentino (Florence 1444/45 - 1497) the work is assigned, together with others, to an unknown Florentine author using the eponym of Pseudo Pier Francesco Fiorentino (Perkins, 1928; Berenson, 1932). It is hypothesized that this painter, active in Florence in the second half of the fifteenth century, proposed valuable paintings derived from compositions by Filippo Lippi and Pesellino, in this specific case intended for domestic devotional use, given the presence of the wooden tabernacle and the small size . Artifacts therefore aimed at a notable such as the one present in Anghiari in the second half of the fifteenth century. The table is the close derivation of a Madonna with Child, San Giovannino and angels by the painter Francesco di Stefano, known as Pesellino, datable to around 1455 and now owned by the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo (USA). To testify the success of Pesellini's composition are given for example two very similar versions attributable to Pseudo Pier Francesco, one of which is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (USA).
