The Virgin as a child climbs up a steep flight of stairs, where the high priest and his procession are waiting at the top left. In the foreground to the right, Saint Anne and Saint Joachim point towards the priest. To the left, a servant approaches with a ram held by a rope.

Despite the attribution to Valdés Leal that is accepted by Lefort, Sánchez Cantón and Trapier, Angulo points out that it is a drawing typical of Camilo and was made for the large canvas now held in the Museo de San Telmo in San Sebastián. It was loaned by the Prado where it was attributed to Francisco Solís; however, it is evidently the work of Camilo and is definitely the one cited by Palomino in the cloister of the Trinitarios Descalzos (Barefooted Trinitarians) of Madrid.

Trapier pointed out that the composition is directly inspired by Federico Baroccio’s Presentation in the Chiesa Nuova in Rome. He undoubtedly knew of the painting from an engraving since it ensures the inversion of the compositional scheme.

It is interesting that Lefort must have also believed it to be the work of Valdés Leal; Lefort was undoubtedly familiar with the painting, as he mentions it in the catalogue of his drawings. This is confused fairly frequently, as Angelo has pointed out, when publishing other canvases by Camilo once attributed to the Sevillian painter. Sánchez Cantón assumed that it was a preparatory work – with numerous variants – for the painting by Valdés in the Palacio Arzobispal (Archbishop’s Palace) in Seville, and Trapiers still considers it to be his in his monograph of 1960.
