A small etching of the Three Kings looking out from within a tabernacle, surmounted by a star. This is a token, found between one of the strainer bars and the support of the pastel; probably placed there as a blessing by the artist.

During conservation in 2017 the token showing the three Kings was discovered between the pastel's canvas liner and wooden strainer. Similar prints have been found on pastels in other collections, including at Dresden (see A. Henning, Atti di convegno.., 2007, pp. 290-291). In a letter to Anton Francesca Marmi in Florence on 3 December 1729, the Venetian nobleman Pier Caterino Zeno described Carriera's 'distinct devotion to the Three Kings, who brought themselves to the adoration of the baby Jesus at the grotto in Bethlehem. Once she gave me a certain portrait to send to my brother in Vienna, and she gave me a little card of the three aforementioned adoring Magi; and said that to these she entrusted the safe outward journey of the portrait; adding, that whenever such little images had accompanied her pictures, they had always arrived safely' (B. Sani, Rosalba Carriera: Lettere, Diari, Frammenti, Florence 1985, pp. 803-5). It has not been possible to identify the printmaker in this case, and such cheap devotional prints or 'santini' were made in their thousands by publishers such as the Remondini in Bassano.

The token has been returned to its location in the back of the pastel.
