A lithographic facsimile of a drawing currently in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. no.WA1846.272). This was made for, but not published in, ‘Lawrence Gallery. A series of facsimiles of original drawings by Raffaelle da Urbino’, London 1841.
The drawing is a copy of a lost original design by Raphael, apparently an early study for the composition of the Parnassus fresco, painted in c.1510-11 in the Stanza della Segnatura, Vatican.
