On the back of the old mount is an old attribution in an Italian hand to Nicolo dell´Abate. Another, later attribution to Giovanni da Udine is inscribed in French on the front of the mount, lower center. According to a note in the hand of Fernández Durán, Carderera thought the drawing from the School of Raphael. In the 1980s, it was placed as circle of Perino del Vaga.
