Ruland (1876) attributed the drawing to Andrea del Sarto. Another photograph of the drawing can be found at RCIN 851320. The composition was reproduced in a print by Elisha Kirkall in 1724. For an impression of the print, see RCIN 851321.
The photograph shows the Virgin sitting on the lap of St Anne, while supporting the Christ Child on her knees with both hands; the Child reaches for St Joseph who leans over a wheeled walking frame at left.
