A photograph of a drawing catalogued by Ruland (1876) as being then in the collection of the Uffizi Museum, Florence and 'probably an early copy' after the almost entirely destroyed fresco 'The sacrifice of Cain and Abel' painted by the workshop of Raphael (c.1517-19) in the basamento of the second bay of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican.
According to Dacos (see Bibliographic References), the basamento paintings of the Raphael Loggia in the Vatican were executed in grisaille and imitated bronze reliefs.
