Winkler, Durers Zeichnunen (1937), p.43. suggests that this could have been given as a gift by Maria of Bavaria in 1608 for the wedding of Maria Magdalena of Austria and Cosimo II of Florence. This painting is itself freely copied from Dürer's drawing "The Great Calvary" which is also in the Uffizi but was presumably in Prague when Brueghel was there in 1604.
