A photograph of a pen and ink drawing now in the Devonshire Collection, Chatsworth House (inv. no.722), currently attributed to Timoteo Viti and thought to be a copy after a lost drawing by Raphael, to whom it has formerly been ascribed. Ruland (1876) considered the drawing as a first thought by Raphael for his so-called Madonna del Cardellino (c.1505), a painting (c.1506) now in the Uffizi, Florence (inv.1890, no.1447). A photograph of the painting can be found at RCIN 850698.
