dated 1776Etching | 49.3 x 71.3 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 852547
Dessins des meilleurs Peintres d'Italie, d'Allemagne, et des Pays-Bas, du Cabinet de Monsieur Paul de Praun à Nuremberg, 1780, plate 5. Another impression of this facsimile can be found at RCIN 852546.
Ruland (1876) noticed that the drawing reproduced in this print resembles a sheet by Parmigianino now in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle (RCIN 990533; a photograph at RCIN 852545), which is thought to be a copy after a lost modello by Raphael of The School of Athens distinct from the cartoon now in the Ambrosiana, Milan.
