The Torre de las Arcas piece was in several publications (Bertaux 1910, Esparza Urroz 2007) confused with a panel once in the church of Pina, in Zaragoza. Koechlin in 1924 also mistakenly stated that his no. 394 was in Torre de las Arcas. This confusion was corrected by Estella Marcos in 1984, as she stressed that the Virgin and Child panel (Koechlin 394) was in the church of Pina de Ebro, near Zaragoza, whereas the Torre de las Arcas piece featured the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist.

Provenance
Destroyed during the Spanish Civil War in 1936.
