Nicolas Turner has confirmed in an expert opinion of 15.01.2008 the authenticity of the drawing and suggested 'around 1650' as the date of origin. In his opinion, this is a study deviating in many details from one of Loth's daughters in Guercinos' paintings of the same name, which were created in this period.
