Art historian John Rowlands rejected this painting as a Holbein: "Although its attribution is by no means a straightforward question, the stylistic grounds supporting Holbein's authorship of this panel are very slender indeed".[1] Curator Susan Foister, however, attributed it to Holbein in the Holbein in England exhibition at the Tate in 2006, citing trademarks such as the gold arabesque design and a figure of eight mark on the reverse.[2] The Italian inscription from Petrarch translates: "And so desire carries me along".
