A photograph of a cartoon generally ascribed to G.F. Penni now in the Museo e Gallerie Nazionali di Capodimonte, Naples (inv. no.2512). The cartoon corresponds largely to the so-called Madonna del Divino Amore (c.1516), a painting currently attributed to Raphael’s workshop (inv. no.146), also housed in the Museo e Gallerie Nazionali di Capodimonte, Naples (inv. no.146).
