The current work, a preparatory study for a fresco of one of the allegorical figures in the Antecamera del Concilio in the Palazzo Farnese, Caprarola, was formerly ascribed by Gere to Federico Zuccaro. However, since then he has suggested that the free use of wash and the characteristic, foreshortened left hand make an attribution to Taddeo Zuccaro more likely.
