A Papal Concistory or The Coronation of an Emperor (?)

A lithographic facsimile of a drawing formerly attributed to Raphael, catalogued by Ruland (1876) as being then in the collection of Archduke Albert in Vienna. According to Ruland (1876), the drawing may represent a coronation of an emperor, and might be an abandoned study for one of the frescoes in the Stanza dell'Incendio. Published in N. Förster, Lithographirte Copien von Original Handzeichnungen berühmter alter Meister der Italienischen schule aus der Sammlung seiner Kaiserlichen Hoheit des durchlauchtigsten Erzherzogs Carl von Oesterreich, 2 vols., Vienna (Mansfeld et Comp.), 1829-34.

Between 1829 and 1834 the lithographic printers Mansfeld and Company, who were based in Vienna, published two volumes of lithographic copies after drawings then in the collection of Archduke Charles of Austria, Duke of Teschen; volume one contained drawings attributed to the Italian school, and volume two the German and Flemish school.
