Note that the work cited here is only a possible match with the seventeenth-century record. This picture was historically associated with the Mantua collection and then Charles I; recently, scholars have questioned the grounds of this traditional association and proposed that the picture may have been in the Earl of Arundel's collection. It is first securely recorded in Louis XIV's collection in the later seventeenth century, sold by Eberhard Jabach in 1671. This Charles I Sale record may in fact refer to RCIN 400008, the picture of a concert by Bernadino Licinio first securely recorded in the Royal Collection in Charles II's time
