Previously considered anonymous, this drawing has been correctly attributed as by the Milanese architect and author Francesco Maria Richini by Antonio Russo (see Bibliography, Russo 2013), who identified the design with the triumphal entry of Cardinal Ferdinand Hapsburg (1609-1641), "Infante" of Spain, which occurred in 1633 in the Porta Ticinese, the southern gate to the city of Milan.
