The motif of a scholar in his study occurs several times in Rembrandt’s oeuvre during the 1630s, and Bol returned to it repeatedly. Kruse, who first attributed the drawing to him, draws attention to his prints, in particular the Meditating Philosopher.  Kruse suggests a date around 1642, while Sumowski seems to prefer an earlier date, at the beginning of Bol’s apprenticeship with Rembrandt. There is a copy of the drawing in Berlin, which Valentiner thought was by Bol. [Magnusson, Dutch Drawings no. 81]
