The style of this sheet and the refined use of the red chalk is closely comparable to the work of Boccaccino. Most probably inspired by an antique sculpture, this drawing can plausibly be dated to circa 1535-40.

For a newly discovered and fascinating group of Cremonese drawings of this period, see A. Allegri and G. Renzi, 'Cremona sul Danubio', Prospettiva, 2019, (175-176), pp. 159-178.
