This painting demonstrates the extensive influence of leonardo da vinci. For example, the child in the painting appears to be derived directly from leonardo's madonna of the carnation (1478-80) (munich, alte pinakothek). Even the pyramidal structure is reflective of the work of leonardo and other artists of his generation. The painting is attributed to a follower of the artist ridolfo ghirlandaio (1483-1561).
