This print is supposed to reproduce a lost design (by Raphael or his workshop) possibly related to one of the predella scenes of the 'Monteluce Altarpiece". Only state; with attribution of the composition to Raphael at lower left (R), and signed by the engraver with monogram at lower right (SV F.).
The main panel of the altarpiece - now in the Pinacoteca Vaticana, Vatican City (inv. no.40359; see RCIN 851401) - was executed by Giulio Romano and Giovanni Francesco Penni in c.1524-5, but was originally commissioned from Raphael in 1505 by the nuns of Santa Maria di Monteluce, Perugia. The predella - currently housed in the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria, Perugia - was entrusted to Berto di Giovanni in 1505 and completed by the artist in c.1524-5.
