It originally formed part of a series of works produced by the artist for the parish church in Almadrones, Spain, a series which represented a set of variants on a set of paintings of the apostles (or Apostolate) for Toledo Cathedral. The painting is key to Gregorio Marañón's theory that the painter used mental patients at the Hospital del Nuncio as models.
