The two paintings replicate, with some variations, the mourners from the altarpiece executed by Federico Barocci between 1566 and 1567 for the Church of the Miraculous Crucifix in Urbino, depicting the Crucifixion and the mourners, now preserved at the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche. The high quality of the two canvases suggests that they may have been painted by Andrea Lilli (Ancona, 1570 – after 1631), a pupil of Barocci.
