A photograph of a drawing by Raphael (c.1507-08) now in the Devonshire Collection, Chatsworth House (inv. no.733). Ruland's suggestion that the drawing may be Raphael’s original preparatory study for his so-called Madonna del Baldacchino (c.1507-08) in the Galleria Palatina, Palazzo Pitti, Florence (inv. no.1912, no.165; see RCIN 850829 for a photograph of it) is now generally accepted.
Showing the Virgin and Child seated on a throne surmounted by a canopy, the drapes of which are held back by two flying angels; flanked by Saints Peter and Bruno on the left, and Saints Augustine and James on the right, with two angels in front of the throne.
