A photograph of a drawing now in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Milan (inv. no.20).
The drawing is similar in composition to an engraving by Giulio Bonasone, thought to be based upon a design by Raphael for his so-called Canigiani Holy Family, a painting now in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich (inv. no.WA 476; see RCIN 850756 for a photograph of it). An impression of Bonasone's engraving can be found at RCIN 850758.
Showing the Virgin supporting the Christ Child on her knees, who leans forward to the Infant Baptist resting on St Elizabeth’s lap, with St Joseph standing behind them and supporting himself with a stick; with angels in the upper part.
