Two Apostles embracing each other, with other studies

A photograph of a drawing now in the Albertina, Vienna (inv. no.187v). The two central figures occur in the border below 'The Sacrifice at Lystra', one of the ten Sistine Chapel tapestries designed by Raphael and his studio under commission of Pope Leo X. The yoke (upper left) and the herm pilaster (right) are also from the same border. The Sistine Chapel tapestry borders illustrate episodes from the life of Pope Leo X and the Acts of the Apostles. A photograph of the tapestry of 'The Sacrifice at Lystra' can be found at RCIN 853170.
