A print after the ‘Holy Family with the Infant Baptist’, a painting now in the Kunsthistoriches Museum, Vienna (inv. no.630) generally attributed to the workshop of Raphael after a design by the master (c.1518). Lettered with production details, dedication and dedicatee's coat of arms. With a blind stamp in the lower right corner (possibly the publisher's blind stamp; not in Lugt).

Showing the kneeling Virgin supporting the Christ Child on her thighs with both hands; the Child reaches for the Infant Baptist, who kneels down on the left with his left arm being grabbed by St Joseph, who stands behind the group holding the bridle of a donkey; in a landscape.
