A photograph of a drawing in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle (RCIN 990493) which corresponds to the almost entirely destroyed fresco 'Joseph addresses his brothers' painted by the workshop of Raphael (c.1517-19) in the basamento of the seventh bay of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican.
In his monograph on Raphael, Passavant (see Bibliographic References) stated that this drawing is a copy of one formerly in the collection of Sir Thomas Lawrence, but this original drawing has not been traced. This drawing was catalogued by Ruland (1876) as being attributed to Perino del Vago, whom Vasari credited with executing the basamento frescoes.
According to Dacos (see Bibliographic References), the basamento paintings of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican were executed in grisaille and imitated bronze reliefs.
