An attribution to Bernardo Strozzi has been suggested. The drawing is probably a study for a composition representing Christ and the Doubting Thomas, of which a painting by Strozzi is in the Palazzo Rosso, Genoa (L. Mortari, Bernardo Strozzi, Rome, 1995, no. 220, ill.).

The old, crossed out, inscription on the drawing refers it to the Florentine painter Francesco Curradi (1570-1661). Later on, the sheet was offered on the market as the work of the Venetian Carlo Caliari (1570-1596), Paolo Veronese’s youngest son. In spite the uncertainty of the attribution the composition is powerful and betrays the hand of an accomplished artist.
