Description
Lisa Goldenberg Stoppato (1991) suggested that the representation of Grand Duchess Vittoria della Rovere as Saint Agatha is linked to the birth of her son Cosimo (future Grand Duke as Cosimo III), as a vow to invoke protection during breastfeeding, while Johnatan Saso (2020) is skeptical about this interpretation, considering that breastfeeding from the mother was not important in the upper-class of the Ancien Régime.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
