The style of this interesting drawing resembles the work of the Sienese artist, Vincenzo Tamagni, who assisted Sodoma in the decoration at Monte Oliveto Maggiore in 1506 and was in Rome around 1520.  The first attempt to publish some of Tamagni's drawings was made by Berenson who included the Sienese Tamagni in his 1939 Corpus of Drawings of the Florentine Painters, as he is said to have been a pupil of Mainardi in Florence.  This was followed by an article by A.E. Popham,¹ and more recently by David Rust.² His drawings are in public and private collections.
