Formerly attributed to Bartolomeo Passerotti (1529-1592), presumably on account of the broad cross-hatching in pen, a technique that is characteristic of drawings by this artist. On the other hand, the figure-type employed in the man´s head seem distinctly Florentine, and the handling perhaps more suggestive of the pen drawings of the Florentine Sigismondo Coccapani (1583-1643).
