A model similar to this one appears
in the Crown of Thorns at the Royal
Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp,
specifically, the figure who is
supposed to place the crown of
thorns on Christ's head. The figure
in the present work differs from it
in the presence of a silver shell
on his hat and a crossbow-shaped
broach on his suit.
Recent studies consider it a copy
made during the second half of the
sixteenth century.
