Ward Neilson dates the drawing to the 1620s and compares the figure of Saint Cecilia to one in a sheet at the Albertina, Vienna (Ward Neilson, op. cit, pp. 98-9, no. 154, p. 217, fig. 141). The present sheet is typical of Procaccini's working method with its three sketches of different subjects each treated in a different technique: red chalk for Saint Cecilia, black chalk for the male torso and pen and brown ink for the studies on the verso.
