From the fragmentary initials on this sheet, an attribution to the Dutch artist Karel van Mander had been made, but Oberhuber recognized the style of Palma Giovane. Jennifer Montagu was the first to identify the subject tentatively as the feast of the Passover celebrated by the Jews before leaving Egypt (Exodus 12:3-11). Another drawing by Palma Giovane of this subject is in Stockholm (Inv. no. 1479/1863, repr. Bjurström 1979, cat. no. 95).
