A photograph of a drawing formerly attributed to Raphael, catalogued by Ruland (1876) as being then in the possession of M. Timbal, Paris.

The drawing closely resembles the group of the Virgin and Child in Raphael's so-called ‘Canigiani Holy Family’ (c.1506-07; see RCIN 850756 for a photograph of it), a painting now in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich (inv. no.WA 476).
