A photograph of a drawing now in the Musée Condé, Chantilly (inv. no.51(43)). The drawing is generally thought to be a copy after a lost drawing by Raphael, related to his so-called ‘Canigiani Holy Family’ (c.1506-07; see RCIN 850756 for a photograph of it). Ruland (1876) catalogued the drawing as by Raphael, and listed it as being then in the collection of the Duke of Aumale.
