    A photograph of a drawing in the Albertina, Vienna (inv.no.176) which is after the fresco 'The fall of Jericho' painted by the workshop of Raphael (c.1517-19) in the vault of the tenth bay of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican. The drawing was suggested by Ruland (1876) to be 'possibly' by G.B. Franco, but is now attributed to Girolamo da Carpi.
