Art Quarterly 3 (Spring 1940), pp. 162–72, figs. 1, 5 (reconstruction), 6 (composite photograph), attributes it to Francesco di Giorgio and calls it a late work; identifies a fragment depicting a group of young men (Villa I Tatti, Florence) as having originally formed the left side of this panel and posits the existence of a lost fragment from the right side of the composition which would have depicted a group of young women; also suggests that there may have been a second picture placed to the right of his reconstructed composition, and that the two works were furniture decorations; favors the story of Huon of Bordeaux as the source of the narrative, but notes that the ex Wauters panel (MMA 1986.147), evidently associated with this work, seemingly depicts no episode from that story.
