A photograph of a drawing now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no.WA1846.139). The authorship of the drawing is a matter a dispute, with some scholars suggesting an attribution to Baldassarre Peruzzi (Parker 1956, no.463) and others supporting the traditional attribution to Raphael (Gere/Turner 1983, no.64).
