Ce dessin est à rapprocher d'un tableau de même sujet peint autour de 1618 et conservé au Boymans-van Beunigen Museum à Rotterdam (L. Salerno, I dipinti del Guercino, 1988, no. 51). Un autre dessin de baigneuses de la même période que le tableau et le dessin Calvière est conservé au Nelson-Atkins Museum à Kansas City (D.M. Stone, Guercino, Master Draftsman, cat. expo., Cambridge, Arthur M. Sackler Museum et autres, 1991, no. 67). Nicholas Turner a confirmé l'attribution de ce dessin et le date de la période pré-romaine. Il note en outre que le type des compositions est proche de celle de la Casa Panini.
This drawing can be dated to circa 1618 by comparison with a picture in Rotterdam and a drawing in Kansas City, all three of the same subject. The attribution of this drawing has been confirmed by Nicholas Turner, who dates it to the pre-roman period.
