Literature
E. Negro and N. Roio, Francesco Francia e la Sua Scuola, Modena, 1998, p. 295, cat. no. 257, ill., p. 294 (as by Giulio Francia and School, see note)

In her entry for the painting, Nicoletta Roio suggests that the present work is for the most part by Giulio Francia and that it is not unlikely there is some studio help (..non e' improbabile tuttavia l'intervento di uno dei suoi piu' assidui collaboratori op. cit. p.294). She compares it to the signed and dated Madonna and Child with Saints Sebastian, James and the infant Baptist in the Church of San Giovanni Battista at Fuipiano (see op. cit. p. 269, cat. no. 205).
