Pontormo painted it between 1528 and 1532 for the parish church of San Michele in Carmignano, near Prato. Behind the two embracing women he placed two more figures who look out towards us: who they are remains a mystery to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the final study, squared up. The squaring, a grid drawn over the drawing, was used to transfer it on a large scale to the panel without losing the proportions.
