It seems that this drawing has been retouched and some lines strengthened, modifying its appearance. The traditional attribution was accepted in 1953, and supported by a comparison with a drawing in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam. Abraham de Pape has also been suggested as the author.
