It was paid to Rubens in 1621 and seems to have been sold around 1746.

This hypothesis is since only one sketch survives for Vice, unlike Virtue, for which two preparatory studies survive, along with a near-complete oil sketch - this suggests Correggio had become more proficient after the difficult gestation of Virtue.
