A photograph of a painting which, according to Ruland (1876), was then in the possession of the late Mr Munro of Novar, London. This painting was bought in 1980 by the National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh (inv. no. 2398), where it is catalogued as by Giulio Romano (c. 1518-1523).
The composition is based on the so-called ‘Madonna della Rosa’, a painting now in the Museo del Prado, Madrid (inv. no.302) generally attributed to Raphael and his workshop (c.1517-18). For a photograph of the ‘Madonna della Rosa’, see RCIN 851103.
