on the far left in his Young Musicians, both about 1595 to 1597. Several other versions of the work are known, all of which may be by Caravaggio; it has been suggested that at the early stage of his career, while he was still in the studio of Cavalier d'Arpino, Caravaggio's paintings were put in the studio's shop window, and if they attracted the attention of passing buyers, Caravaggio would feed the demand with additional versions. John T. Spike identified the likely original as a painting auctioned in London that year , although others have argued that either the Ishizuka version or that in the British Royal Collection could be the prototype. The version in the Royal Collection has been on display in the Cumberland Gallery of Hampton Court Palace since 2004. Other copies identified include models in private collections in Berlin and Rome.
