Until now, not much is known about Josepha Sanchez. She was active as a painter in the second quarter of the 17th century, inspired by the ascetic-naturalistic crucifixes of Luis Tristán.
A copy almost identical to this one is kept in the collection of the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid.
