Philip Pouncey was, according to Richard Krautheimer, the first to propose an attribution to Poccetti. The close hatching of the shading and the angular folds of the draperies are characteristic of Poccetti. The present drawing is comparable to sheets in the Uffizi such as the Seated Figure asleep, for the Cappella del Giglio in Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi, Florence, datable to 1598-1600, or the Seated female Figure holding a Sword, for the chapel of the Madonna del Soccorso, SS. Annunziata, Florence, P.C. Hamilton, Disegni di Bernardino Poccetti, exhib. ca.t, Uffizi, Firenze, 1980, nos. 51, 55, figs. 64, 69. The pose and the drapery are similar to figures in the fresco depicting the Carthusian Saints on the vault of the church in the Certosa del Galuzzo, near Florence, C. Chiarelli and G. Leoncini, La Certosa del Galuzzo, Milan, 1982, nos. 60-63, illustrated.
