Federico's final undertaking before his departure from Rome in 1603 was the fresco decoration of the chapel of Saint Hyacinth in Santa Sabina in Rome, commissioned by Cardinal Girolamo Berniero for the Jubilee of 1600 and completed by February of that same year. The present drawing is preparatory to the large fresco depicting the "Canonization of Saint Hyacinth by Pope Clement VIII" that occupies the entire right wall of the chapel.
