A photograph of a drawing in the Teylers Museum, Haarlem (inv. no.A73), attributed to the studio of Raphael and considered to potentially be the modello for the almost entirely destroyed fresco 'God blessing Creation' painted by the workshop of Raphael (c.1517-19) in the basamento of the first bay of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican.
According to Dacos (see Bibliographic References), the basamento paintings of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican were executed in grisaille and imitated bronze reliefs. Dacos attributes the drawing to Raffaellino del Colle.
