This depiction of Saint Sebastian – particularly his posture, torso and the foreshortening of his legs – is highly comparable to Folli's presentation of Susanna in his Susanna and the Elders at the Villa Brandi, Vignano, Siena.1
We are grateful to Dott. Marco Ciampolini for proposing the attribution to Sebastiano Folli on the basis of digital images.
