A photograph of a drawing by Raphael (c.1507-08) currently in the collection of the Musée Bonnat, Bayonne (inv. no.1714). Not included in Ruland's Raphael Collection catalogue (1876). An undated note in the master copy of Ruland's Raphael Collection catalogue kept in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle records the photographed drawing as being in the collection of Com. C. Guasti, Florence.

The photograph shows the full-length seated Virgin, her head turned to right, holding the Christ Child on her lap and lifting His left arm.
