This vigorous drawing probably dates from circa 1547-8, shortly after Luca Cambiaso's return from his first visit to Rome, when he was commissioned to fresco the Sala di Apollo in Antonio Doria's palazzo in Genoa. The draughtsmanship is very close to that in the Silenus Drinking at Princeton (inv. 1948.627) and in the Samson sold at Sotheby's, New York, 26 January 2011, lot 531.

We are grateful to Jonathan Bober for confirming the attribution on the basis of a photograph and for his assistance in cataloguing this drawing.
