The composition of this work is known in several variants with half-length figures, some having the signatures of Giovanni Bellini.
Tacconi's picture is probably based on an altarpiece showing a full-length figure by Bellini himself. The variant 'Virgin and Child' by Bellini showing a half-length Virgin is also closely related to Tacconi's work.
