Particular focus is given to speculations that the drawing was completed by the artist Tommaso de' Cavalieri, a friend and admirer of Michelangelo. The exhibition "Michelangelo: Sacred and Profane, Master Drawings from the Casa Buonarroti," to be held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston from April 21st through June 30, 2013 is also discussed.
