A print reproducing a drawing now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no.WA1846.297), then in the Cabinet Denon. The composition occurs in the frieze-like scene in the border below 'The Stoning of St Stephen', one of the ten Sistine Chapel tapestries designed by Raphael under commission of Pope Leo X. The scenes in the tapestry borders illustrate episodes from the life of Pope Leo X. A photograph of the Oxford drawing can be found at RCIN 853091.
