From the Art Institute of Chicago record

Executed during Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione's second visit to Rome, this classical composition illustrates the Biblical story in which the infant Christ commanded a palm tree to bow down so that the Virgin might pick its fruit during the Holy Family's flight into Egypt to escape Herod's soldiers.
