The artist was identified: The Rest on the Flight into Egypt by Vincenzo Catena. (Erica Lewis found the info!)
and I've duplicated this (and might have added some) to Once the baby Jesus looked like Bobby Hill.
This is a detail of a painting
I saved this a while hoping to come across more information, but I should've published it! Help is welcome.
The comments that came when I put this up on facebook in October 2013:

I didn't note the artist. Once I saw a painting where a soldier or guard, I think, looked like a 22 year old Bobby Hill. Maybe I'll come across it again. Maybe it's the same artist. This one was in the Norton Simon Museum. I looked through their website's paintings, and didn't find it. It's one of the most minor curiosities ever, though, so I don't have a burning need to know.

That boy's not right. (To quote Hank Hill.)

All that hard Renaissance-artist work just to end up with a cousin of Beavis and Butthead. It just ain't right.

I am a HUGE KOTH fan. This is pretty neat to me.
