A photograph of a drawing by Raphael (c.1508-09) currently in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. no.3869). The studies connect with the group depicted in the lower left corner of the Disputa (The Disputation of the Holy Sacrament), painted by Raphael in the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican between 1508 and 1511. According to Ruland (1876), the photograph was made by Adolphe Braun. Another photograph of the drawing can be found at RCIN 852443.
