On publishing this drawing, Anne Sutherland Harris wrote: "The technique of [this] ...red chalk composition study for an assumption of the Virgin with two saints (Philip Neri and Carlo Borromeo?) is less obviously related to his published composition studies in this medium. Passages in chalk figure studies, however... are very close technically to comparable details in the Stockholm study with its scattered, accented strokes and broken contour lines. The traditional attribution may therefore be right. Its technique harks back to Sacchi, Camassei, and Lanfranco; an early date is therefore possible. Indeed, the only published composition study with which this sheet has some technical affinities is the study for the apse fresco showing St. Mark's arrest. The compostition of the Stockholm Assunta also recalls Lanfranco, in particular his Virgin and Child with SS. Carlo Borromeo and Bartolomeo in Capodimonte, Naples [Bjurström, It. Drawings, cat. no. 669]
