A rectangular plaquette depicting the scene of flagellation of Christ came from the old collection of Electors of Brandenburg, the so-called Kunstkammer, from where it moved to the museums of Berlin in the 19th century. Published as Donatello's work in pre-war literature, the plaquette is iconographically associated with two works of Donatello’s circle: a terracotta relief from the Victoria and Albert Museum (The Forzori Altar) and a drawing from the Uffizi collection.
