This drawing, which is squared, is considered to be the modello for the fresco 'Lot's family flees Sodom' painted by the workshop of Raphael (c.1517-19) in the vault of the fourth bay of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican. The drawing was previously in the collections of Queen Christina of Sweden and Thomas Lawrence, amongst others.
