John Gere noted that this drawing 'seems to be the missing link' between Taddeo's design in the Uffizi (Gere, no. 52) for the left-hand side of the lower group of the apostles in the frescoed Assumption in the Pucci Chapel in Santa Trinità dei Monti, Rome and the study for the fresco by Federico in the Ferretti Collection, J. Mundy, Renaissance into Baroque, Italian Master Drawings by the Zuccari 1550-1600, Milwaukee, 1990, no. 45. Taddeo was commissioned in June 1563 to complete the decorations of the Pucci Chapel left unfinished by Perino del Vaga. Following the death of Taddeo in 1566, Federico took over the project and his studies in the Ambrosiana, Milan (Mundy, fig. 17) and the Ferretti Collection develop out of his brother's preliminary drawings. Mundy does not rule out the possibility that the present drawing is by Federico
