Rossi (1996) made a comparison between the female figure at the centre of this drawing and the "Female figure sitting on the fragment of a wheel over clouds, St. Catherine (?)" in Capodimonte (inv. no. 1022; Tietze & Tietze Conrat 1944, no. 1723, as Jacopo; tentatively attributed to the latter by Rosanna Muzii in 'I Grandi Disegni Italiani di Capodimonte", Milan, 1987, no. 13), as part of an argument that wanted to restitute to Domenico a drawing in Braunschweig (see under no. 1907-7-17-5 and 17).
1907-7-17-1 to 90 is a so-called sketchbook, dismembered after its acquisition in 1907. A Title Page inscribed in brown ink is at the beginning of the series.
