Tietze and Tietze-Conrat were the first to reject the traditional attribution. Oberhuber has suggested investigating such late sixteenth-century mannerist artists as Filippo Bellini (see BCMA 1811.4) or even Friedrich Sustris (see BCMA 1811.15), although he agreed that this sheet is not by either of these artists.
