Erich Schleier kindly confirmed the attribution of the drawing on the basis of a photograph. Another drawing of the same subject is illustrated in C. Giardini and E. Negro, I disegni della collezione Mosca, Modena, 1990, no. 19 (as Emilian School, 17th Century.) A picture of the subject is in the Louvre.
