This drawing is closely related to a print by Brizio (B. 6), representing Alfonso Paleotti, Archbishop of Bologna, worshipping Christ's shroud. The print, however, is not based on this drawing but on a drawing by Ludovico Carracci, now in the Département des arts graphiques, Musée du Louvre. Birke suggests that if the present drawing was made for a painting, the kneeling figure probably represents St. Petronius, the patron saint of Bologna [Bjurström, It. Drawings, cat. no. 1304]
