A print reproducing a composition formerly associated with Raphael. Bartsch suggested that the original composition may be ascribed to Giulio Romano (Bartsch XV, p.129, no.68).
The print shows the Virgin, seated to right, holding the Christ Child between her knees, who reaches for the bird presented to Him by the Infant Baptist who stands on a cushion at left and is supported by St Elizabeth. The Virgin rests her right hand on the shoulder of another child who kneels down at left, and is surrounded by five holy figures.
