Holy Family with the Infant Baptist

A print after a painting then in the collection of Mr Munro of Novar, London. This painting was bought in 1980 by the National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh (inv. no. 2398), where it is catalogued as by Giulio Romano (c. 1518-23). Lettered with production details and title. Stamped with the publisher's blind stamp at lower centre (not in Lugt). A photograph of the ex Munro of Novar painting at RCIN RCIN 851107.

The composition is based on the so-called Madonna della Rosa, a picture now in the Museo del Prado, Madrid (inv. no.302) generally attributed to Raphael and his workshop (c.1517-18). A photograph of the Madonna della Rosa can be found at RCIN 851103.
