I suspect that this must date a bit later than Ertz puts it, perhaps late 1590s. The shape and support would be incredibly aberrant for a Roman work, and most of the Roman works stayed for quite some time in Italy.

Related drawings in Albertina, inv. #8424 (doubted, I think, by Winner?) and Groningen, Museum voor Stadenlande, Inv. #1951-600.
