This work is the other version of a painting kept in a Swiss private collection (exhibition catalog: Seule la peinture... Pierre Brebiette (1598?-1642), Orléans, Musée des Beaux-Arts, 2001-2002, p. 91, no. 80, repr. p. 1), which is smaller (canvas, 50.5 x 61 cm) and has some variants (two sunflowers on the left, different sky, darker color range, sketchier landscape).
Other works by Brebiette related to this composition are known:
- An etching bearing the excudit of Quesnel and dated 1636 where Saint Joseph is absent but where a lamb appears and where the landscape is more complex.
- A drawing - in reverse - in red chalk in a private collection (13 x 17.5 cm, Piguet sale in Geneva, September 26, 2018), preparatory to the etching, a painting on copper in height (copper, 39 x 26 cm, sale in Bayeux, July 14, 2004).
