Gregory Nazianzen sent a letter to a friend which supports the traditional attribution.

The traditional attribution to Droeshout the younger is made on stylistic grounds.

In spite of the traditional attribution, who the grave belongs to is a mystery, and even the year of its construction is uncertain.

At that time connoisseurship of Old Master paintings was in its infancy, and the works received highly optimistic traditional attributions.
