It was gifted to Pope Sixtus IV and displayed at a church in Santa Maria la Carità as a favor to the Medici family.

The painting later fell into the hands of private collectors and was rediscovered by the Italian government in November 2023.

[1] Art historian Peppe Di Massa argues the work was inspired by and depicts Botticelli's alleged muse, Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci.

However, it will require restoration due to some paint loss and scratches that probably appeared during a 1982 earthquake and subsequent house moves.
