Close inspection of the signature would seem to indicate it is contemporary to the painting. Few artists are known by the sobriquet 'El Mudo'. Amongst them are Juan Fernández de Navarrete (1526–1579) and Pedro el Mudo (active 1634–1648)ও, both active in Madrid in the late-16th and mid-17th centuries respectively.
