The figures of a woman with a basket on her head, a young man with a large amphora and a youth holding a basket to his side are found on the left of a composition by Polidoro da Caravaggio of The Gathering of the Manna, sometimes thought to be one of a cycle of biblical scenes that once decorated a chapel in S. Eustachio, Rome (Ravelli, 1978, pp. 227-234).
