An engraving after the bust of Raphael's self-portrait with another man (c. 1519-20) now in the Louvre, Paris (inv. no. 614). Head and shoulders, turned slightly to the right. This print is lettered along the bottom: "RAPHAELIS SANCTII VRBINATIS / PICTORIS EMINENTISS. EFFIGIEM IVLIVS BONASONIVS BONONIEN. AB / EXEMPLARI SVMPTAM CAELO EXPRESSIT.". This is the first state of the print.
The print formed part of an album of portrait prints assembled by Cassiano dal Pozzo in Rome. Described in an early nineteenth-century inventory of prints in George III's library as Illustrious Painters &c:a, the album was dismantled later in the nineteenth century and its contents sold during the early twentieth century, when only a few of Cassiano's foreign non-royal portrait prints were retained for the collection.
