    A photograph of a drawing attributed to Bernardino Gatti known as Il Sojaro now in the Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe degli Uffizi, Florence (inv. no.573E). The drawing was formerly ascribed to Raphael and thought to be related to his fresco of the Disputa. This opinion was rejected by Ruland (1876). Another photograph of the drawing can be found at RCIN 852408.
