The lack of well-known drawings by Raffaello dal Colle (died 1566) renders the traditional attribution doubtful. The verso inscription refers to Peter Candid (ca. 1548—1628), a Flemish-bom painter who worked in Italy and Germany. This sheet is not by him, but it is by a Flemish artist working in Italy, according to Oberhuber. More recently, Lawrence Turčić has tentatively related it to the Genoese artist Paggi (letter to the author, 26 June 1984).
