A reversed facsimile of a drawing catalogued by Ruland (1876) as being then in the Musée du Louvre, Paris. Lettered with artists' names. Numbered at upper left: 158. Published in Cabinet du Roy, a set of etchings executed by Caylus reproducing drawings from the French Royal collection.
Ruland suggested that the drawing may be a first study for the group of Faith and Charity, painted by Raphael's workshop in the Sala di Costantino in the Vatican.
