An engraving after the so-called ‘Tempi Madonna’, a painting executed by Raphael for the Tempi family (1507-08) now in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich (inv. no.WA 796). As lettered below the image, the painting was still in Casa Tempi in Florence at the time the print was published. This print is plate 2 from a-yet-unidentified set, maybe the 'Recueil d’estampes gravées d’après les peintures à fresque italiennes', Paris, 1821. Lettered with production details. See RCIN 850719 for a photograph of the painting.
