The biblical scene, popular in the iconographic repertoire of printers, has been performed in different ways and styles in Europe since the early 16th century. This specific version, in which the woman grasps the mantle of Joseph, was connected to an engraving made by Marcantonio Raimondi between 1515 and 1525, taken from a fresco by Raphael in the Vatican Lodges, although the direct source is likely to be a later print.
