Professor Werner Sumowski confirmed the attribution to Kneller on the basis of photographs and dated the painting to the mid 1660s (private communication). The present work can be compared to Kneller's Self Portrait as a Draughtsman in the Cook Collection, Bedford (see: W. Sumowski, Gemälde der Rembrandt-Schüler, vol. III, cat. no. 975) from circa 1670.
