A 16th-century anonymous print of the same composition (although with some differences and in reverse) can be found at RCIN 812272.
The print shows the full-length kneeling Virgin, bathing the Christ Child who turns towards the Infant Baptist who pours water over Him from a jug, with St Anne holding a cloth next to a fire at left; in an interior.
