On the basis of the staff in the saint's left hand, Diego Angulo Iñiguez and Alfonso Pérez Sánchez suspected that this could be either James the Younger or Jude Thaddeus.[1] Antonio Martínez Ripoll saw similarities to the Head of Saint Paul with His Throat Cut at the Museo Nacional del Prado (P 3058).[2] As with other drawings from this series, the eyes were highlighted with brown ink.
