We are grateful to Prof. Peter Humfrey and Prof. Mauro Lucco for suggesting an attribution to Sebastiano Filippi on the basis of digital images. Lucco dates the painting to circa 1525. For a reconstruction of Filippi's artistic personality see M. Lucco, ‘Battista Dossi and Sebastiano Filippi’, in Dosso's Fate: Painting and Court Culture in Renaissance Italy, Los Angeles 1998, pp. 263–87.
