According to Giampaolo, the original attribution for this drawing to Bedoli was made by Philip Pouncey, who noted the original pen and ink and wash drawing by Bedoli with the white gouache highlights added later, possibly by a student of Bedoli, and dated the drawing to around 1540 (see A. E. Popham and M. di Giampaolo, Disegni di Girolamo Bedoli, Viadana, 1971, page 49, figure 35)
