This drawing is probably connected with the commission for the Medici Chapel in Florence. It was proposed that the drawing was a study for a painting in the lunette above the double tomb of the Magnifici at the entrance wall of the chapel. Given its pyramidal structure, the composition is suitable for a lunette. A fresco of the subject would have been required by the dedication of the chapel to the Resurrection.
On the verso of the sheet, three studies of a male shoulder are seen.
