Another painting of the same subject in Bosch's style but with a different composition is held by the El Escorial near Madrid, Christ Crowned with Thorns; this is now usually attributed to a follower.[2] Other paintings similar to the London version by followers of Bosch are held in several public collections, including in particular Christ Crowned with Thorns with Donor [nl] in the Koninklijk Museum in Antwerp,[3] but also examples in the Philadelphia Museum of Art,[4] and the Kunstmuseum Bern,[5] which are probably based on another painting of the subject by Bosch, now lost. Similar scenes are also included in the Passion Triptych [fr; nl] in the Museu de Belles Arts de Valencia, also by a follower of Bosch.
