The studies drawn at upper left on the sheet are connected with Raphael's so-called 'Madonna di Loreto' now in the Musée Condé, Chantilly (inv. no.68; see RCIN 850869 for a print reproducing this painting), those at upper and lower right with the 'Aldobrandini Madonna' (see RCIN 850881 for a photograph of this painting). A sketch apparently unrelated to any known painting by Raphael is at bottom centre.
