This sheet came to the collection with a traditional attribution to Domenichino. Richard Spear, however, suggested looking near Giuseppe Cesari (d'Arpino), and Konrad Oberhuber felt that it is the work of an earlier Bolognese artist working in the 1580s or 1590s. He noted that the strong draughtsmanship resembles the style of Bartolomeo Passarotti, but Passarotti's most characteristic drawings are executed in pen and ink, and red chalk studies by him are not familiar.
Oberhuber has tentatively suggested an artist such as Giovanni Francesco Bezzi, called Nosadella; Lorenzo Sabatini; or Orazio Samacchini. The latter's forceful draughtsmanship can be seen in a study for a seated prophet in the Scholz Collection in the Pierpont Morgan Library.1 The 91亚色传媒 study would also seem to be for a prophet or hero figure in a decorative project, obviously influenced by Florentine draughtsmanship deriving from Michelangelo.
1. Inv. no. 1981.20, repr. Ottawa 1982, cat. no. 15. Drawings by Sabatini and Samacchini are often confused; the most recent discussion of draughtsmanship of this school is in De Grazia 1984, pp. 330-340.
