A photograph of a drawing now in the British Museum, London (inv. no.1895-9-15-626) thought to be a copy after a lost study by Raphael.
The composition is known through other existing copies, including another in the British Museum (inv. no.Ff. I-38), one in the Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe degli Uffizi, Florence (inv. no.498E) and a third one catalogued by Ruland (1876) as being then in the collection of the Academy in Milan, but currently untraced (see RCIN 851206).
The photograph shows the full-length Virgin, seated almost in profile to left, holding the naked Christ Child on her lap, with the Infant Baptist standing at left.
