A facsimile etching reproducing (in reverse and with some additions) a drawing currently housed in the Albertina, Vienna (inv. no.201). Formerly thought to be by Raphael, the drawing is now generally thought to be a copy after a study by the master. Signed, dated and numbered on plate: 'N.o.5'.

The print shows the Christ Child looking at His mother, while being supported by her with both hands, who sits next to St Anne.
